On the 14 of July 1987, a four-day heat wave ends with a torrential downpour that drops 56-103 mm of rain within a two hours period. The resulting floods remained etched into the city’s memory…at least until the ice storm.

Thank to Adrian’s Lemon Juice Blog, I was able to travel back in time by watching the 6 o’clock Radio Canada news report of that very same evening. Even if you don’t understand French, these images are mind boggling.
