Hurricane Irene 2011, Atlantic, Caribbean

On August 28 in Quebec, high winds and heavy rain from post-tropical storm Irene knocked out power to 250,000 homes, felled tree branches, and damaged some buildings and traffic lights in Montreal. One person was killed after a road was washed out and cars were swept into the Yamaska River near Sorel-Tracy; another section of road in Charlevoix was also washed out, and flooding forced evacuations in Estrie.
The storm then tracked up the St. Lawrence River Valley in southeastern Quebec through the night of August 28, crossing the St. Lawrence River into Labrador.
