| Comments | Southern New Brunswick, April 9 to May 15, 2005. Several days of rain caused flooding in the communities of Jemseg, Sheffield, Maugerville and Fredicton and forced approximately 40 families (approximately 120 individuals) to evacuate their riverside homes. Several families remained stranded in their homes as all roads were washed out. For many families the only way to leave their property was by canoe. Due to high water levels, the highway between Fredericton and Saint John remained blocked for many days. |
