OTTAWA/MONTREAL - Canada’s capital city of Ottawa readied on Friday for heavy flooding as rains were set to further engorge the swollen Ottawa River, while Montreal declared a state of emergency as it too braced for an inundation of flood waters.
“The situation is changing very quickly on the ground,” said Ottawa city manager Steve Kanellakos, adding waters would affect hundreds of homes, likely more than the roughly 500 hit in 2017. The city declared a state of emergency on Thursday. Spring flooding has already impacted nearly 5,500 homes in Quebec, with more than 1,000 people evacuated. One woman died when her car was caught in a road washout caused by rising waters.
Across the river in Gatineau, Quebec, a number of roads were closed and dozens of residents were forced from their homes.
