“My house is destroyed”
With many homes still waterlogged and property damage estimated to exceed more than $3 million, many on the East Coast are concerned that their basic insurance policies will not cover the devastating flooding caused by the remnants of Hurricane Matthew.
The storm crashed into Atlantic Canada over the Thanksgiving weekend, knocking out power, sweeping away bridges, tearing up sections of road, submerging cars and flooding many homes. An estimated 225 millimetres of rain fell on Cape Breton over 24 hours.
