- Yes, they should be merged as they were the same system. CrazyC83 (talk) 03:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- First it is not the same day and it is not even in the same country, so it cannot be merge directly. Second, the Insurance Bureau of Canada has estimated that insured losses where the highest in the province's history, exceeding $500 million canadian dollars, and the second largest loss event in Canadian history (Meteorological Service of Canada (2009-11-27).
