Description
Northeastern Ontario faces severe flooding due to snowmelt and heavy rains, with Manitoulin Island communities under a state of emergency. Sheguiandah and other areas are experiencing rapidly swelling creeks, while Greater Sudbury and North Bay are dealing with rising waters. Conservation Sudbury issued a warning for all rivers and streams, with some residents in Coniston receiving over 15 centimeters of water in basements. North Bays Fisher Street turned into a river, and the Northgate mall parking lot was flooded, causing businesses to close and a hockey game to be rescheduled. Volunteers on Manitoulin are filling sandbags, and authorities are urging preparation in low areas as more rain and warmer temperatures are expected.
