Across Winnipeg and southern parts of the province, many Manitobans were busy cleaning up Monday after the weekend's rain storms.
Estimates are still being tallied but the damage is expected to be in the millions.
On Saturday and Sunday, as much as 100 millimetres of rain fell on Winnipeg.
The water swamped some vehicles and seeped into many basements.
"It came up through the shower and at the time it was just sewage (spilling) into the back room," said Alana Langelotz, whose basement was flooded.
At Rumor's Restaurant and Comedy Club, water rushed down into the venue.
"It was just immediate panic, but it was controlled panic because we kind of knew what to do this time," said Tyler Schlutz, general manager for the club.
In July 2009, a flood forced the club to close for several months. This time, staff were prepared and had fans and vacuums ready within hours. The club expects to open as scheduled on Tuesday.
Some homeowners hit with flooding may be wondering about whether they're covered through insurance. One insurance company said individuals need to check their policies.
"The typical insurance policy sold by brokers does not automatically cover flooding or seepage. It is an add-on policy that you have to purchase, which is in fact for sewer back-up and sump pump failure…," said Curtis Wyatt with Wyatt Dowling Insurance.
Officials said tenants at Manitoba Housing and in other residences are also expected to protect themselves with tenant's insurance.
On Monday, Winnipeg police issued a public advisory that water levels were much higher than normal.
Children are warned to stay away from bodies of water such as rivers, creeks and ponds, said police.
The public is also requested to refrain from using boats on the river system until further notice because of hazards posed by hidden debris.
