Just before 5 a.m., authorities said they responded to a man at Brant Rock who needed to be rescued. The man had to be extricated with a front end loader due to the flooding, and was transported to a local hospital.
Taber said that anyone who loses power should call police for a ride to the shelter if they are getting cold, but everyone else should stay put because road conditions are treacherous.
