“It was crazy! The water suddenly rose about a meter. I had them in front of my door! “I couldn’t open the door and had to knock several times to finally open it and get out of my car,” said a still shaken Motorist whose vehicle was partially submerged under an overpass on Avenue du Parc near Rue Jean-Talon Ouest.
