WATCH: Manhole Erupts from Heavy Rain in Minneapolis

Wednesday night's storms dumped heavy rain across the Twin Cities and the state, with some areas receiving more than 10 inches.

The National Weather Service reported that within 48 hours, Waseca, Minnesota was hit with 13.91 inches of rain.

Parts of Maple Grove received nearly 10 inches of rain.

Police and fire crews responded to multiple calls as severe flooding began affecting many intersections and residential basements.

Snowplows were used to push the rainwater off Interstate 94.

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office warned residents against traveling during the storm and reminded drivers to never travel through submerged motorways.
