Story summary

Here is a summary of the news story:

Up to 200mm of rain fell on parts of Cape Breton over the weekend, causing widespread flooding and damage. A 46-year-old woman from Cleveland, N.S. was found dead in a flooded area after her vehicle was discovered parked near her residence on the far side of a flooded bridge. Her death is not considered suspicious. Multiple roads were closed due to flooding, with some areas receiving up to 10mm of rain per hour. A state of emergency was declared in three counties: Inverness, Victoria, and Richmond. Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said the province is mourning the loss of the woman and urged residents to be cautious during the ongoing flood situation.
