Two of the four people missing after floods ripped through the Canadian Atlantic province of Nova Scotia over the weekend are dead, Premier Tim Houston said on Monday.
Police earlier confirmed the death of a 52-year-old man who was reported missing after his car became submerged and said they had found a second body most likely to be one of the four people who disappeared as waters rose.
The storm, which started on Friday, in some places dumped more than 25 cm in just 24 hours - as much as normally falls in three months.Canadian National has already restored much of the damaged infrastructure, but some repairs will be delayed until the flood waters recede, company spokesman Scott Brown said.
"With supply chains the reality is the longer the disruption lasts, the more severe the impact is," he said by phone.
