Landslide Sweeps Home, Road, Evacuates Homes Northeast Montreal

A major landslide in Sainte-Monique, Quebec, northeast of Montreal, swept away a home and a road, creating a crater over 300 meters long and 100 meters wide. The home was empty at the time, and no injuries were reported, as the resident had left to warn neighbors. Authorities evacuated three nearby homes as a precaution, with firefighters and technical teams from Trois-Rivières and the Ministry of Transport on site to ensure safety. The landslide is expected to expand, and the area is known for landslides, with recent heavy rainfall contributing to the event. Local officials, including the minister responsible for Centre-du-Québec and the Public Safety Minister, are closely monitoring the situation and providing support to the small community of around 500 residents. Drone footage has captured the large crater left by the landslide, highlighting the scale of the damage.
