Canadian hard rain damaged or destroyed 15 bridges


http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index.php?smp=&lang=eng


Area: Canada, Province of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island,

Description:

Fixing the damage from heavy rains in Cape Breton earlier this week could take a month, say transportation officials. At least 15 bridges from the Margarees to Inverness were damaged or destroyed in Monday's downpour, up from an earlier estimate of seven. Several roads and culverts were also washed out. The damage is estimated at $750,000. "We do have a few roads at this point that are accessible from both ends, but our through traffic is cut off," said Roy MacDonald, a manager with the Department of Transportation. Transportation crews have been working steadily. Extra crews are being brought in from other parts of the province to try to finish the work before the end of September.

hard rain is doing a number on the earth. and more and more reports come in about unexpected huge rogue waves hitting shore, doing damage and killing people.
