ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY, Maine — Residents of Androscoggin County were warned to stay safe during a flash flood warning issued Tuesday evening.

According to a Facebook post from the Auburn Police Department, first responders worked to field multiple calls during the flooding. 

Auburn police are warning drivers to not attempt to enter flooded roads.

"It's pretty crazy," Nick Danforth, who was out observing the storm damage in Auburn, said. "It's not what you would've expected for a little rainstorm I guess. I didn't expect to see this, and Center Street was pretty crazy."

NEWS CENTER Maine had a crew in Lewiston Tuesday night, where flooding was seen in front of the Lewiston Public Works Department. Adams Avenue was closed for through traffic as of 8:05 p.m. Tuesday.
