The landslide was triggered by heavy rainfall, which caused the soil and rock on the side of a hill to become saturated and unstable.At around 7:30 PM on the day of the disaster, a portion of the hillside suddenly gave way, sending millions of cubic meters of soil, rock, and trees cascading down onto the town below. The landslide was so powerful that it destroyed more than 40 homes and buildings, leaving around 40 families homeless.In total, the landslide claimed the lives of 33 people, including men, women, and children. The disaster was a significant blow to the small community, which was already struggling with economic hardship.The Quebec landslide of 1889 was one of the deadliest natural disasters in Canadian history, and it remains a tragic reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature. The event led to greater awareness of the need for better disaster preparedness and management, and it spurred the development of better techniques for landslide mitigation and prevention.
