Flooding across Quebec inundated Montreal and surrounding areas on Sunday and Monday, driving thousands of people out of their homes and washing away at least two people, who remain missing. The flooding even reached the country’s capital, with hundreds of homes in Ottawa affected and at least 75 families displaced. Aerial footage in Rigaud, Quebec, west of Montreal, showed whole neighborhoods under water.
The flooding in Montreal, which is centered on a group of islands at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, began when waters breached dikes in the northern part of the city. The authorities declared a state of emergency in Montreal and other affected areas.
Unusually high rainfall in recent weeks has engorged the dams, reservoirs and rivers meant to handle the annual flood season, pushing Lake Ontario to a water level not seen since 1993, the Canadian Press news agency said.
Wonderful, It's god's punishment for all the shitskin in Montreal.

If anyone owns guns and has to evacuate take them with you. Otherwise it'll be another High River gun grab, or whatever that town in Alberta was.

There isn't much to say Some people got flooded like 5000 houses I have never seen the Ottawa river so high The damns are full One highway here got Flooded The amount of rain we got happens like once every 100 years

Shit like this happen every 20 years. People will lose their home, but it isn't as bad as they say. Just don't build your home somewhere you and the government that sold you the lot know that it will happen every 15-20-30 years. People that have lost their house will get financial help from the government. Army was called, they said they were gonna send the bill to the people, finally Trudeau said we have to much money in Ottawa, we will pay it for ya buddy wink wink.

>BC >constant mudflows >hot days soften snow >rain helps pull it down >heavy rain and fast melting snow The problem isn't the volume it's the speed, Erosion is the true killer.
