Here's what 160 mm of rain in Atlantic Canada looks like

Friday, October 2, 2015, 9:30 AM - As a cold front slowly exits Atlantic Canada, rain continues in parts.

Since Wednesday this drenching system has dumped over 160 mm in some places.

Heavy downpours Wednesday into early Thursday led to the death of a man in New Brunswick who was trying to hook up his sump pump when a retaining wall fell on him, according to police. The rain also damaged infrastructure, knocked power out and lead to the closure of several roads and schools.

"Drainage systems have become overwhelmed in many paces and there are reports of localized flooding," New Brunswick's Emergency Measures Organization said in a statement. "The impact upon private homes is reported to be significant."

More than 5,000 homes were left without power around the Fredericton area Thursday morning, according to New Brunswick Power.

Although all rainfall warnings have ended in Atlantic Canada, more rain is on the way for parts. Eastern Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. are forecast to see rain Friday. The wet conditions are expected to continue into Saturday before easing off into the evening over Nova Scotia and the Avalon. 

Coastal regions of Nova Scotia from Shelburne to Halifax are forecast to receive an additional 25 to 35 mm of rain Friday. Meanwhile, places like St. John's in eastern Newfoundland could see rainfall amounts under 15 mm.
