At least four people, including two children, are still missing after moisture-packed thunderstorms dumped a record amount of rainfall across Nova Scotia this past weekend. According to authorities, more than 25 bridges were damaged, and hundreds were forced to evacuate their homes. The long and grueling cleanup process began Sunday as the floodwaters slowly started to recede.
“Two children, one youth and a man” remained unaccounted for after floodwaters inundated roadways and vehicles in West Hants, which is located about 50 miles northwest of Halifax,” said the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Sunday.
