Flooding in Mississauga is so bad that people are being rescued by boat

Flooding in Toronto has shut down transit stations, major intersections and highways across the city, but things are looking just as dicey out in Mississauga.

One video out of the Toronto suburb shows a pair of brothers up to their waist in floodwater along a public trail.

The video circulating on social media shows the duo on the Applewood Trail next to Little Etobicoke Creek in Mississauga. They can be seen wading through waist-deep waters after the adjacent waterway breached its banks.

In a photo, one of the brothers sits on a partially submerged bench.

Another video captured near the Square One area in Mississauga shows flooded streets as the midday downpour dumped a deluge on the region.

InSauga reports that Mississauga firefighters even manned rescue boats to access vehicles trapped near Dundas and Dixie.

It's so bad out that local fire officials have requested that the public "Please do not dial 911 unless you're in immediate danger or require assistance with rescue or evacuation."

"Due to the significant rain, city crews are fielding several flooding issues on sidewalks, roads, parks and trails. We are also getting reports from some residents who are experiencing flooding in their home."
