Charlotte County Marks 3 Years Since Great Flood


This weekend will mark 3 years since the Great Flood we will never forget.

On December 15th, 2010, 174 mms of rain fell on our area, putting communities such as St. Stephen and St. George under a few feet of water.

All roads and bridges were submerged leading into Bonny River, homes were covered to the rooftops, with some being swept down river.

Premier David Alward was quoted as saying, "The damage left behind is beyond imagination".

At one point, 120 roads were either partially flooded or completely submerged.
