A state of emergency is in effect for the western Quebec town of Fort Coulonge as rising water levels from the Ottawa River wash out roads and threaten homes.

CTV’s Dylan Dyson reports on the spring melt and heavy rains pushing river volumes to 10 times their average, threatening the village wastewater system and prompting fears of a partial evacuation.
