Heavy rain caused flooding on Northeast Ohio roads Wednesday evening. 

At Sam's Club in Brooklyn, the flooding was so severe that families had to be rescued by boat.

Water came rushing into the store causing damage inside. Cars parked outside were also damaged. 

Mud and debris covered the parking lot, leaving several cars stranded.

In Hudson, flooding caused problems on Stow Road at an Interstate 480 underpass.

State Route 303 in Streetsboro was closed between Stone Road and Jefferson Street due to high water.
