CBC London reporter Colin Butler took a drive through Port Bruce today, where residents are dealing with high flood waters and damage from ice dams.
The community on Lake Erie just east of Port Stanley woke up to flooded properties and some road closures on Tuesday.
The flood waters began to recede by Tuesday afternoon, but the damage was considerable.
Here are some of Butler's photos.
