Post-tropical storm Debby hits Atlantic Canada with heavy rain, flooding

Residents of Montreal were hammered by heavy rain and flooding as post-tropical storm Debby arrived in Canada.

The city received more rain in one day than what's expected for the entire month of August. As Heidi Petracek reports, the storm left a trail of destruction in the U.S. and is now headed for Atlantic Canada.

Plus, Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell is tracking Debby's path, including the massive amount of rain that's falling on Eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec.

Since when is Montreal in Atlantic Canada, i guess our school system is also under water😮

Yes Newbrunswick is Atlantic Canada, but not Quebec nor Ontario

[Alexinderland]

Eastern Canada is NOT Atlantic Canada. It's a whole timezone away. Check your maps and be responsible in your titles.

Why is Atlantic Canada in the headline?

[forestyogin]

This flooding is not "Atlantic Canada" . . . not even close to it.

Trudeau, keep giving money to other countries instead of investing in infrastructure to prevent catastrophe.

In Halifax, which by the way is in Atlantic Canada, it rained last night. Far from an historic event, just rain, No big deal .

[DanSmith-qxnl]

Infrastructure is the biggest problem not weather. Weather has always existed!!

Yep, look at this major news outlet not knowing the difference between Eastern Canada and Atlantic Canada. Don’t y’all have editors anymore, or did you cut back your staff and overwork who’s left like Walmart?

North Pa here n wow, my spot is tore up😅

[anagasa]

Currently in the middle of it camping north of Quebec City 😅 almost

[JHabc]

Um, since when are Ottawa and Quebec Atlantic Canada? We’re just fine in Nova Scotia

The flooding has more to. do with really poor infrastructure than just a full day of rain. I am from Sweden, but live in Canada. If it rains there, we have irrigation systems in place to manage it. Where does our tax money go here in Canada?

We've had a lot of rain here in Ontario this summer. The size of flora and vegetation is enormous. The greenery is abundant. Thriving. Amazing to see.

East coast? 😂 That's cute here in Nova Scotia id be confident in saying this is east coast..

[wendyculbert]

No we don't get nervous, we get prepared...hurricanes often reach here

[consciousequus]

This podcast had NOTHING to do with your headline: " Hits Atlantic Canada" ! Allll about PQ, Ont. & the U.S. Shame on you !!
ANY TIME I attempt to watch MSM - which has been TWICE in the past 35 yrs- .. I'm confirmed why I don't. Thank you for reminding me of that again.

I live in Toronto, and our DVP highway flooded twice back to back it felt like, and it's so ridiculous! This is a COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE event guys!! THIS is what the government is literally for! The river needs to be stopped from being allowed to flood the highway on days of crazy rain, because as we know the flood events will only continue. Time to take a real action to fix it not just make frowny faces and get concerned about the people whose vehicles were lost. Do something!

[marshalou]

Isn't this "central" canada?

[fyruiii]

South Ontario, below Toronto, got dark gray clouds.
