Winnipeg Storm Leaves City in Mess

Winnipeg’s emergency crews are racing against the clock to recover from a devastating storm that flooded streets, backed up sewers, and knocked out power across the city—sending hundreds of 311 calls pouring in overnight. With crews working around the clock to clear debris, fix traffic lights, and remove fallen trees, low-lying areas remain underwater Wednesday morning. Officials say the storm tested emergency services to their limits, exposing vulnerabilities in aging infrastructure, especially combined sewer systems prone to overflow. The mayor praised first responders and city workers while noting the city is still assessing environmental impacts and potential delays to major construction projects, including the long-awaited sewer separation initiative. Recovery is underway—but the full storm’s toll is still unfolding. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
