Thunderstorms brought close to 140 mms of rain to the area June 28, 29 and 30 leaving flooded basements, sewer back-ups and washed-out roads in its wake. Coupled with an already high water table and super-saturated soil pretty much everywhere made things much worse than the recent flooding of the Boggy and the Shell River.
Overland flooding caused a massive landslide near Deepdale which took out the CN’s trestle bridge.
