| Comments | Quebec and New Brunswick, July 31 to August 4, 2008. Storms and heavy rainfalls pounded the regions of Beauce, Temiscouata and Gaspésie in eastern Quebec and neighboring northwest New Brunswick. A deluge of more than 100 mm of rain caused severe flooding, which washed out dozens of roads in the region.

Over 50 sections roads were washed out, including small bridges as well as two cottages that were destroyed in Quebec by the heavy rain. In New Brunswick, a state of emergency was declared in Glazier Lake where 74 residents had to be air lifted to safety after a flashflood washed out sections of a provincial highway. |
