July 24th, 2008 by Jared Serviss
On July 23, CBC reported that more than 80 people were forced to leave their homes in central Quebec after heavy rain on the region early July 23. Authorities indicated that about 65 millimetres fell in approximately six hours in Quebec’s Upper-Mauricie region, causing flooding in the towns of La Bostonnais and La Tuque. About 35 homes in La Bostonnais reported some flooding. In La Tuque, 12 homes were flooded. Evacuated residents found shelter with friends, family and neighbours. Water levels in nearby rivers are still high and may rise throughout the day if there is more rain.
