Items from the rainstorm
Thursday’s rainstorm dumped so much water on parts of town that the blue line was shut down for several hours because of water infiltration.
Two houses north of town were destroyed by lightning, several outdoor shows at the Francos had to be cancelled, and a few thousand people lost power.

Note to visitors: this is Montreal, so “north of town” means “west of town.” (Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-lac is due west of the Plateau and actually farther south than Rosemont-LPP.)

Wow, no luck for Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-lac – massive flooding when the dike burst and now houses destroyed by lightning strikes…
I’d take that as a sign to pull up stakes
