Bodies recovered on the Bluff after heavy rains
Recovery efforts were on Wednesday morning underway at two beaches on the Bluff where the bodies of four people have been discovered.
Emergency first responders say two children were among those washed ashore in the morning.
It's unclear whether their deaths are linked to last night's heavy rains, which triggered flash floods and submerged many roads across the province.
Newswatch was at Cuttings Beach on Wednesday morning.
Search and rescue teams say the bodies found on the shore are of a little girl, around 5 years old and a boy, about 10.

Authorities will work to determine if they were the victims of the flash flood in Lamontville - where five people were swept into a canal last night.
The beach is covered with debris and rubbish from last night's heavy rain.
Emergency crews are now preparing to recover two more bodies from Ansteys Beach.
