Richard, who is also a volunteer firefighter, said a lot of people in Windsor, Falmouth, Brooklyn and surrounding areas continue to live with damage from a year ago.

“We’re still dealing with clogged drains, culverts that have been crushed or damaged due to the last flood. That’s the whole reason we are flooding again today is because nothing has been resolved. No drains have been cleared, ditches are still full from last year. There’s no place for the water to go, unfortunately. That’s why it’s so bad.”

Scott Hamilton, the chief of the Kentville Volunteer Fire Department, said there was flooding in some parts of the Annapolis Valley town.

He said the fire department has helped with the voluntary evacuations of people from around 10 homes, responded to some car crashes, and helped with road closures.

“There’s a significant amount of water down this time with the amount of run-off that we’ve had … we are slowly starting to see it subside — slowly, but it is starting,” said Hamilton.
