Flooding Thunder Bay, Ont.
Heavy rains over last weekend flooded the town and surrounding areas, flooding basements, washing out roads and knocking out power. On Monday, the town declared a state of emergency.
The rains have since stopped and the flood waters are receding, and Environment Canada is forecasting dry sunny weather for the rest of the week. But the damage will take longer to fix.
On Wednesday, the city launched the Thunder Bay Flood Fund in conjunction with the Salvation Army and the Canadian Red Cross, both of which are delivering food and other necessities to those who need it.
