Watch: Aubuchon, Teson Roads Flood in Hazelwood with Heavy Rain

See how quickly water invades the area to ensure you don't find yourself stuck and needing to be rescued.

It happens each time the City of Hazelwood experiences heavy rainfall. Teson and Aubuchon roads, the areas concentrated with most of Hazelwood's farmland, flood. We are talking flash flooding, as in one minute there is no water and the next, there is so much water it causes a car engine to shutoff.

A lot of residents in the area know without the Hazelwood Police Department calling it, that the roads will be closed and impossible to travel.

But for those who have never experienced the area during a moment of flash-flooding, take a look at this video as to not become one of many who make the mistake each time it rains.

Robertson Fire Protection District rescued two people from the flooded area on Thursday. Battalion Chief Dan Hoguet said the district has to rescue people on a a regular basis when it rains.

The two individuals were rescued after misjudging whether their vehicles could drive through the water that was deeper than it appeared.
