Eight months later, on November 12, 1955, a Leda clay landslide carried of earth and six buildings crashing down into the Nicolet river, killing three people, injuring six and causing $10 million in damages. The incident destroyed the trade school (established in 1887) and the recently rebuilt cathedral. The event was later the subject of a book by author Louis Caron entitled "Le Bonhomme Sept-Heures." The riverfront road where the landslide occurred was named "rue du 12 novembre" ("12th of November Street") in commemoration.
