Flood

Four people are missing after some of the worst flooding in decades in parts of Canada.
Flooding has also affected the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick.
Quebec's deluge has been caused by a combination of melting snow and much heavier than average spring rainfall in April and May.
The inundation has affected 146 Quebec communities and created more than 1,500 evacuees.
