Three days of sunshine cheered flagging spirits along the Richelieu River, where some people took advantage of spring floods to explore submerged neighbourhoods by boat. "We're seeing our district as a different environment," said Marie-Claude Dumoulin, 新开传奇私服 47, as she and her husband, Stéphane Deschambault, paddled their canoe in a flooded schoolyard near their house on the outskirts of this town 40 kilometres southeast of Montreal. Civil-protection authorities said water levels in the river have finally crested, dropping by one to three centimetres on Saturday. The levels continued to drop Sunday morning, but it was slow going. According to Hydro-Météo, which monitors water levels for the province of Quebec, 仿盛大传奇私服 the water level was diminishing by only 2.5 to five millimetres per hour. "We are very happy with how things went today," said Philippe Jobin, a spokesperson for the province's public-security department. With sunny weather projected until Thursday, authorities will be drawing up plans to help people return to their homes during the coming weeks, Jobin said. The Canadian Armed Forces dispatched 100 naval reservists to the area, 传奇世界私服 bringing to 800 the number of troops assigned to flood relief. The Quebec public-security department has distributed nearly $1 million in compensation to 250 families so far, Jobin added. "We're hoping the worst is past," said Francine Milot, town manager of St. Blaise sur Richelieu. More than half of the town's 900 dwellings are affected by flooding. She said residents' greatest need is for drinking water, although there is still a strong demand for sandbags. In St. Paul de l'Île aux Noix, 新开诛仙私服 Linda Durbeau said she was exhausted after waiting out the flood for two weeks. "It's been very, very long," said Durbeau, 45, whose 16-year-old son's school is shut down because of flooding. Even with two pumps running day and night, six inches of water cover the basement floor of her bungalow, she said. "As long as the electricity keeps working, I can hang in till the end," she said. Once it's all over, Durbeau said they will need to replace a pool table, living room furniture and her son's bedroom furniture. But she added it was heartening to see how people are helping each other out,http://www.zmfcgl.com/bbs/boke.asp?needless.index.html http://www.lydaduhui.com/bbs/boke.asp?needless.index.html http://www.hztjx.com/bbs/boke.asp?needless.index.html http://www.sijing.com/bbs/boke.asp?needless.index.html http://uugame.org/uchome/space.php?uid=105832 http://bbs.tkgame.com/viewthread.php?tid=1690364&page=1&extra=#pid2345300 http://bbs.xzrx.com/space.php?uid=14222 including one volunteer who has been using his allterrain vehicle and a wagon to provide a free taxi service through chest-deep water to the main road.
