CITYnews halifax / By Natasha O’Neill
Flash floods took residents of the Annapolis Valley by surprise as the remnants of Hurricane Beryl rolled through on Thursday.
Dropping in some places over 100 mm of rain in a few hours, heavy rain caused flooding in parts of the valley. In one instance, in Wolfville, a child died after being pulled into a water-filled ditch.
The youth was playing at a nearby park with some friends at the time.
A bridge in Halls Harbour, N.S., about 30 minutes north of Wolfville, had the flooding blow through its bridge.

@NateTWN @weathernetwork I have never seen flooding like this in #Wolfville #NovaScotia before.
#BerylHurricane here’s a thread with a few local videos. I’ll include that I didn’t intentionally go out in this. I was just trying to get home.
