Tropical storm Debby remnants drench Montreal with record-setting rain

Montreal and surrounding communities in Quebec are grappling with the aftermath of historic rainfall, as the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby led to widespread flooding and power outages.

With over half a million customers affected by power outages, Hydro-Quebec is working diligently to restore electricity.

As the cleanup continues, residents and officials are assessing the damage caused by the torrential rainfall.

So sorry for the people. We suffered like this in Newfoundland through Hurricane Igor. Thinking of you all.

I built a house with no basement 4 years ago, California style houses is the answer with the current state of yearly flooding

Imagine what the carbon tax could have accomplished if the money went towards mitigation and infrastructure adaption rather than wasteful rebates on EVs.

"My wife and I don't park our cars like that" - mans got a good sense of humour and seems down to earth

A few weeks ago, after not doing it for years, sewers around my neighborhood were vacuum pumped. We got no flooding.. The city has neglected its sewers for years. Afterall, citizens won't know untill something bad happens. They are slowly cutting these types of services that are so important.

"Getting inundated with calls" Did you really have to slip that one in?

Man that really sucks. Glad there were no fatalities and good to see neighbors helping neighbors. Make Montreal Great Again!

What are find amazing, is knowing that there’s a hurricane coming, knowing that there’s going to be flooding; and the most important thing to do is go drive around in your car.
They knew the storm was coming before it even hit Florida .
