Nova Scotia RCMP say the search continues for four people, including two children, after intense thunderstorms dumped record amounts of rain across the province.
Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay released no other details, but says police would update the progress of the search later today.
Police say the children were with three other people who managed to escape from a car that got stuck in floodwaters. A second vehicle carrying four people was also submerged and two people escaped, but a youth and a man remain unaccounted for.
