The weather continues to create problems for Manitobans, as more flood waters wash out provincial roads around Duck Mountain.
Provincial Road 366 and 367 near Pine River are closed at Highway 10 near Mafeking, as waters swept away chunks of the roadway.

Thankfully no one was injured, as the cabins were empty, she said.
