After an afternoon of heavy downpours, several streets and highways in and around Providence have flooded.
Southern Providence County, Bristol County and central Kent County are under a Flash Flood Warning until 5:30 p.m. and much of Rhode Island remains under an Areal Flood Watch until 5 p.m. according to the National Weather Service.
Governor Dan McKee has urged those around the state to avoid unnecessary travel as crews work to clear drains on I-95, Rt. 10 and Rt. 6, as well as help stalled vehicles.
An unoccupied building collapsed early Monday evening at 215 Peace Street in Providence, which is near the intersection of Waverly and Dexter streets, according to Providence Police.
There were no injuries.
