Manitoba Floods Leave Thousands Without Power | Winnipeg News

Southern Manitoba’s worst flooding in months has left thousands without power and forced emergency evacuations as rivers swell and roads vanish under water. Boissevain-Morton declared a local state of emergency for 2,300 residents, while Manitoba Hydro scrambles to restore power to over 14,000 customers. Turtle Crossing Campground was partially evacuated as the Assiniboine River rose, and rural areas like Mossey River saw nearly 200mm of rain in hours, washing out key roads and cutting off Highway 20. Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor confirms safety is top priority, with crews and resources deployed to affected zones. Communication is breaking down in isolated communities, prompting emergency teams to prepare for boat rescues and shifting road closures — some calling the situation unprecedented.
