Randy Smith It's definitely still there, and eventually the whole river will back up, clog and almost certainly flood Quebec. Dammit, middle ice, float away!
There is some ice in little bay along the river, but new ice start this week along the river borders. Hope temp. will go over 0c soon. Two break up in the same year, that will make a record.
I do not known, but you see only a little part of it. When the ice go, it can take up tp 45 minutes until the main ice pass. I make an accelerate of it, because it was to long, see : 20150413134000_Charny_DebacleAcc.mp4
This is French Canadian, I believe......in any event, the poster is speaking French and the word has a different meaning in the original language than it does in English use: "Debacle comes from the French noun débâcle, which comes from the verb débâcler, meaning "to clear," "to unbolt," or "to unbar."" So, clearing the ice from the river.
