Many cities in the province of Quebec Canada (region of Montérégie) are experiencing their biggest challenge up to now.
The region's river level have been rising up and flooding many cities FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW!
It has been raining almost non stop here in the past 5 weeks and many many people lost everything. Their houses, basement, streets have been (and still are) flooded non stop for 36 days now! They are used to have like a day of flooding during the spring, BUT NOT 54!
Most of those houses will totally have to be rebuilt because of the damages a month of water can do to it, some people still live in emergency center, or in family member's house in other cities. When we had 2 days of sun the river level came down a little but not enough to exit the houses, but then it started raining all over again.
Agriculture in this area is very important, but now of course inexistent, all the fields have been flooded and this will also be catastrophic for the region and the whole province in terms of food.
I'm actually surprised that I hear no one talk about it anywhere so I think you have to know what people here are living right now, it may not be a sensational as Japan in terms of images, but it destroys people's life just the same way.
The prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper DIDN'T EVEN COME to see it! That's his way of showing us how he feels that the province didn't vote for him on federal election last month! This is disgusting!
Here are some videos of how it looks like!

If any of you wants to make donation to the red cross for the Quebec floods, here is the link.
Images speaks for themselves, this is terrible.
