In the midst of coping with flooded homes, navigating submerged streets and building walls of sandbags, Montreal residents are sending in their neighbourhood snapshots to CBC.

Here is what the flooding looks like, from your perspective.

Olivier Langevin took his camera out to the area of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, just off the western tip of the island of Montreal, to shoot this video.

"Together, we will make it," the video says at the end.

In Ahuntsic-Cartierville, there are lots of smiles on Cousineau Street, in spite of the high waters.

'Big shout out to the City of Montreal, the firefighters and the Canadian Army for helping us keep our fort standing! It's been a lot of work but we're making it. Rue Cousineau loves you,' says Sarah Crivello. (submitted by Sarah Crivello)
