Residents of Teulon, Man., are cleaning up and filing insurance claims six days after the Interlake town was inundated with water. Last week, rain came down in sheets in the town 60 kilometres north of Winnipeg, damaging roughly 800 homes — about 75 per cent of the community's residences, Mayor Anna Pazdzierski said. "There was one home, the water was halfway up the basement windows and just flowing in. The same level outside was the level inside," she said on Monday. "It just filled up everything it could fill up."
