NEW: Hundreds ordered to leave homes in Kenora, Ont., as floodwaters continue to rise.

Officials say there was more than 45 centimetres of water on some local streets, noting it’s no longer possible to safely build up roadways or install new culverts.

The city says water levels on Lake of the Woods, the Winnipeg River and Black Sturgeon Lake are expected to keep rising over the next five to seven days. While water from Black Sturgeon Lake is still flowing into the Winnipeg River, the city warns flooding in surrounding areas could increase significantly if water levels on the river rise too high.
