About Saguenay Flood
The Saguenay flood was a series of flash floods on July 19 and 20, 1996 that hit the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. It was the biggest overland flood in 20th-century Canadian history. Problems started after two weeks of constant rain, which severely engorged soils, rivers and reservoirs.
