A full blown emergency is taking place in parts of Quebec after a dike broke on Saturday night, inundating homes in Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, a suburb west of Montreal. The Lake of Two Mountains burst through the dike and flooded homes, forcing more than 5,000 residents to grab what they could and get out. Another 1500 people evacuated the next day.
