Episode Details

Ottawa’s weather turned brutal this week, with torrential storms flooding basements and lobbies—especially in the west end—while a heat warning raged on, leaving residents without power or AC. Sewer backups popped manhole covers, and even an emergency shelter was hit, forcing residents into rooms and stranding one with mobility issues. Shelters, unprepared for weather damage, need weeks to recover and are pleading for donations to replace mattresses and PPE. Library branches closed due to damage, with due dates extended, and the mayor’s considering waiving permits for flood repairs. Power outages and road closures are still widespread as crews scramble to clean up the city’s worst storm yet.
