Comments | Winnipeg MB, July 25 - August 14, 1993. The City of Winnipeg was declared a disaster area because of flooding caused by prolonged heavy rainfall; three severe rainstorms in a five-week period during July caused sewer backups and other extensive damage to homes, power lines, and agricultural land infrastructure in Winnipeg and surrounding areas including Selkirk, Springfield and Beausejour. Wettest summer in Winnipeg in 120 years. |
