In the Canadian province of Alberta, 80,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the Fort McMurray area, where a wildfire has burned 1,600 buildings and more than 10,000 hectares (about 24,700 acres). The cause of the fire is unknown, but "very high temperatures, low relative humidities and some strong winds" are said to favor its spread.

True for hurricanes... For the East coast I was thinking of high tides that wreak havoc in some areas and have been increasingly big over the past few years from what I understand. There are a lot of properties built right around lakes and rivers in Quebec and those tend to get flodded every spring as well.
