Atlantic Canada’s province of Nova Scotia is reeling from the impact of the heaviest rain witnessed in more than half a century, resulting in floods causing “unimaginable” damage and leaving four people missing, including two children, officials reported on Saturday.
The storm began on Friday and brought an astonishing downpour of over 25 cm (10 inches) of rain in just 24 hours – an amount equivalent to what the region typically receives in three months. The ensuing floods wreaked havoc on roads, bridges, and buildings, washing away crucial infrastructure and leaving communities in disarray.
