WEYBURN, Sask. - Residents in parts of southeast Saskatchewan are bracing for flood problems today.
Up to 75 millimetres of rain has fallen in the region over the past couple of days, causing the Souris River to rise.
Yesterday firefighters had to use a boat to rescue about 30 people from a mobile home park on the outskirts of Weyburn.
The water was over a metre deep and up to the floors of many of the trailers.
Residents living downstream may also have problems of their own.
The province says it has to release water from several dams because the levels in their reservoirs are near maximum allowable levels.
It says the extra flow downstream is expected to cause flooding -- and there's more rain in the forecast.
Evacuation orders have been issued for a couple of communities, including a trailer park on the outskirts of Estevan.
