Quebec Floods: Heavy Rain and Snowmelt Cause Chaos

0:00It's April 19, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Canada News today, your AI-powered local news. Parts of Quebec are seen floods today after days of pounding rain. By around 10 a.m., Sunday, the Public Security Ministry counted 35 cases of minor and medium flooding across the province. Flooding hit spots like the Rivierre de Prairies, between the West Island, All-Vall, Ilay, Bizarre, and LaBalle. They also noted issues in the Mill Hills River, at LaValle's western tip, and lack they do montage, including near-Stayon de Bellevue and Lapeiro. This comes from heavy downpours, plus snow melt, boosting water levels. Montreal alone got nearly 50mm of rain since last Sunday. That's more than half the usual 80mm for the whole month of April. Officials expect the risk to climb this weekend with mixed precipitation on tap for today. Keep an eye on local alerts as crews monitor rivers and lakes closely.
