Gatineau Flood Warning: Second Wave Imminent

Gattano residents, heads up city officials are warning of a possible second flood wave

hitting soon.

Environment Canada predicts 30 to 50 millimeters of rain across the national capital region

starting late Wednesday.

The Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board says, water levels on the river could rise gradually

everywhere over the next few days from all that, downpour.

The grounds already soaked in their saturation, so it can't soak up much more.

This kickoff late Tuesday afternoon, but the big system rolls in late Wednesday with

heavy rain everywhere.

Gattano's Tuesday update straight up says a second peak right there can't be ruled out.

Impacts are real dozens of roads flooded, some only reachable by boat, and trash pickups

paused on affected streets.

A release centers open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the center sportive they get to

know.

Authorities like the Eco-Lose and Bourbonnets are shut down or restricted too.

In Ottawa, folks can grab sand and sandbags at 15 spots, with maps for closures online.

Gattano's got interactive maps for sandbag stations and waste drops, other spots like the

Mississippi Valley and Petite Nation River face warnings with risks of evacuations and

backups.

Stay sharp, check your local municipality sites for the freshest updates, keep some pumps

running, and get valuables out of basements before it hits.

Harder.
