40 year floods
It has been a rough, rainy April, with no sign of improvement for May. I'm really glad I live on a hill. This article shows some pictures from just across the river, and downriver near where Fancy lives. We are expecting another 40-60 mm before Sunday. I'm not sure exactly how much that is, but we get rainfall warnings for 15-20 mm, and the ground is saturated already, so it can't be good. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/flooding-may-5-west-quebec-eastern-ontario-1.4100803.
It's bad near Montreal, too, and could get much worse if New York State releases extra water to lower the levels in Lake Ontario: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/new-york-lake-ontario-st-lawrence-flooding-1.4100867. Toronto is also in for a lot more rain. Some areas, such as the Islands, are already in rough shape. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-storm-rain-1.4100747.
