The Montreal flood of 1987 happened on July 14 of that year when a series of strong thunderstorms crossed the island of Montreal, Canada, between the noon hour and 2:30 p.m. Over 100 millimetres (3.9 in) of rain fell during this very short period of time. The sewer systems were overwhelmed by the deluge and the city was paralyzed by the flooded roads. Autoroute 15, a sunken highway also known as the Décarie Expressway, soon filled with water, trapping motorists. Some 350,000 houses lost electricity, and tens of thousands had flooded basements. Two people died, one in a submerged car and another who was electrocuted.

  • Le Déluge de Montréal est une pluie torrentielle qui s'est abattue le 14 juillet 1987 sur la ville de Montréal (Canada), faisant de très gros dégâts. Quatre orages violents puis une ligne de pluie stratiforme laissent plus de 100 millimètres de pluie en deux heures sur le centre de l'île de Montréal ce jour-là. L'événement s'est produit après plusieurs jours de canicule, alors que la température et l'humidité augmentaient sur la région. Un système convectif de méso-échelle, caractérisé par plusieurs lignes de grain suivies d'une bande de précipitations stratiformes, s'est formé à l'ouest de la région de Montréal l'après-midi du 14 juillet.Le développement d'une circulation descendante de l'arrière vers l'avant du système, et d'un courant ascendant peu profond de l'avant vers l'arrière, mena à la génération de nuages stratiformes dans les bas niveaux à l'arrière des lignes d'orage ; ce qui augmenta la quantité de précipitations lors du passage des lignes.
