Calls about the flooding began coming in around 7:40 p.m., Hamilton Police Staff Sgt. "This is the worst its been in 40 years," said John Hejno, who owns the plaza at the corner of York Road and King Street in Dundas. The inclement weather also triggered a mudslide, which closed King Street East, between East and West streets, Mann said.
