Affected Areas


Restigouche River Basin: Heavy rains on May 2, accompanied by the spring freshet on Christopher Brook, resulted in flooding at Tide Head. Water levels on Walker Brook in Campbellton were also reported to be very high. The extremely fast flowing, high water levels in ditches, brooks and streams washed away the shoulder areas of many roads.
Walker Brook was reported to be "the highest it had been in many years".
