Baie-St-Paul Mayor says he has declared a state of emergency because of heavy rains that have washed away roads and left some homes cut off
Provincial police searched on Monday for two people swept away by the current on the flooded Riviere du Gouffre, in Quebec’s Charlevoix region, where up to 60 millimetres of rain fell within a 24-hour period.
Neither Gravel nor Mayor Michael Pilote would confirm reports that the two missing were firefighters from a nearby community. Pilote said one of the main roads running through his city was “completely, literally, ripped up” by the heavy rains and flooding. He encouraged people to stay in their homes. “Stay home; if your home is in danger, you only have to call 911 and the emergency services will come to your home to evacuate you.”
