Developing: Two people missing in flooding northeast of Quebec City

BAIE-SAINT-PAUL, Que. - Provincial police searched on Monday for two people swept away by the current on the flooded Rivière du Gouffre, in Quebec’s Charlevoix region, where up to 60 millimetres of rain fell within a 24-hour period.

Neither Gravel nor Mayor Michaël Pilote would confirm reports that the two missing were firefighters from a nearby community. Pilote said one of the main roads running through his city was “completely, literally, ripped up” by the heavy rains and flooding. He encouraged people to stay in their homes. “Stay home; if your home is in danger, you only have to call 911 and the emergency services will come to your home to evacuate you.”
