Torrential rain last night caused flooding to homes and roads across the Island -- and weathermen are predicting there is more to come.

Police reported that five cars stranded in huge puddles in the middle of roads had to be towed away after their engines were cut out by the water.

A team from Works and Engineering was sent out to clear drains but there was still flooding to roads, including Collector's Hill and in Flatts, said a Police spokesman, and to homes across the Island.

By press time last night the Fire Service had reports of flooding to more than 20 homes across the Island.

A Police spokesman said a local garage had been called out to tow away cars stuck in the overflowing roads.

"We've been inundated with calls -- cars have broke down because they have been stuck in the middle of roads because of the sudden downpour,'' said the spokesman.

"We've had flooding in roads and in homes in St. George's, but nothing life-threatening.'' A Bermuda Weather Service spokesman warned that more torrential weather was expected throughout the week.

Similar weather is expected to continue throughout the remainder of this week as a front passes over Bermuda and drags in more bad weather.

"There's plenty more where all this is coming from,'' said the Bermuda Weather Service meteorologist.

"We have plenty of lightning in St. George's and there's plenty going on -- the front is going to pass at 8, 9 or 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

"But the radar is pretty chock-a-block and there's plenty more to come on the satellite picture.

"This weather is probably going through until tomorrow afternoon. I don't think we even mentioned sunshine in the weather update.'' he said.

"We've dropped out the hail (forecast) because it's quite warm. Until this front passes through tomorrow morning, you shouldn't expect a change as much,'' he added.

"It's not really a storm. We're having a lull right now -- it's 20 to 30 knots over the water.

"We expect the wind to pick up 20-30 knots on land. It's nothing more than we've been having earlier. Just the chance of a few thunderstorms.

"Just looking at the radar here, we can see there's still plenty of action about 100 miles south of us.'' The meteorologist noted thunderstorms passed some 20 to 30 miles north and east of Bermuda during the day -- around 4 or 5 p.m.
