STORY: The storm, which started on Friday, dumped more than 25 cm (10 inches) on some parts in 24 hours, the same amount that usually lands in three months.

Authorities have declared a state of emergency in Halifax, the province's largest city, and four other regions.

"We have a scary, significant situation here," said provincial premier Tim Houston.

Houston, citing police, said two children were missing after their car was submerged. In another incident, a man and a youth were missing after their car ran into deep waters.

Environment Canada is predicting torrential rain in the east of the province, continuing into Sunday. At one point, more than 80,000 people were without power.

"I am very concerned about the flooding in Nova Scotia. People have seen their homes damaged, people have seen their safety at risk," federal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Toronto.
