Affected Areas


Upper Saint John River Basin: Along the Trans Canada Highway from Woodstock north, cultivated potato fields were eroded, and in several places, culverts were blocked allowing water to run over the road. During the storm, traffic was reported to be at a standstill on the Trans Canada Highway. Northern Carleton County was reported to be the hardest hit area. In West Florenceville, damage was extensive as culverts could not cope with the heavy runoff. Two houses and a mobile home were reported as being inundated. The west end of the Florenceville bridge was cut off by water and another road in the area was washed out. Electrical service was disrupted in the area for several hours as a pole had been washed out and other shortages occurred.
About two inches [51mm] of rains was reported to have fallen in about a one-half hour period.
