Two of the four people missing after floods ripped through the Canadian Atlantic province of Nova Scotia over the weekend are dead, Premier Tim Houston said on Monday, July 24.
OTTAWA, Canada –
“I extend my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the two people who passed away following floods,” Houston said in a statement confirming the second body was one of the four people who went missing in the region of Halifax, the province’s largest city. The floods washed away roads, swamped buildings and damaged bridges and a Canadian National Railway track connecting with Halifax, Canada’s fourth-largest port.
Vessel service has not yet been hit by the track closure and the port is working to manage storing cargoes strategically, said port authority communications director Lane Farguson.
