The identities of three of the victims of the devastating floods that hit Nova Scotia last weekend have been revealed.

The victims are six-year-old Natalie Hazel Harnish, six-year-old Colton Cisco, and 52-year-old Nicholas Anthony Holland.

Harnish, from Brooklyn, was described in her obituary as a bright light full of energy.

Cisco, from Martock, was noted for his love of cars and spending time with his parents and older brother.

Holland, who left behind two children, was described as a gifted musician.

Four people had been reported missing, including Holland, Harnish, Cisco, and a young man under 18, on Saturday after floodwaters submerged the vehicles they were in.

Efforts to search for the missing young man are ongoing.

During the record-breaking storms that began on July 21, parts of Nova Scotia saw rainfall of up to 250 mm, causing widespread damage to roads, bridges, and homes during the flash floods.
