WINDSOR, N.S.
— Teams conducting a grim search of a flooded Nova Scotia field located the body of a missing man Monday, and the RCMP confirmed the recovery of what they believe are remains of a second person swept away when torrential rain hit the province on the weekend.
“The second remains … were near a tidal system or near water, so we have reason to believe they most likely moved along those waterways,” said Frizzell, who couldn’t provide an estimate of the distance. Abraham Zebian, mayor of West Hants Regional Municipality, was at the site and said search teams were pumping more than 94,000 litres of water a minute from the field. The goal, he said, was to get the water level low enough that people could search the area by foot. “We’re going to stay positive until we have some closure here," Zebian said in an interview.
“Our own worries about damaged driveways and such just dissipated and all we care about now is the kids and the other lost people ... For me personally, living here all these years, there’s never been anything as devastating as this.” Paul Chang said he has cleaned the dirt and debris out of his tropical fish store twice: once on Saturday morning after the Sackville River left about 30 centimetres of water in his store, and again on Sunday morning after water levels briefly rose and fell again.
