Hundreds of thousands of people in Atlantic Canada remained without power Sunday as officials tried to assess the scope of devastation from former Hurricane Fiona, which swept away houses, stripped off roofs and blocked roads across the country’s Atlantic provinces.
“She’s likely washed out to sea, but we haven’t been able to confirm that,” said Cpl. Jolene Garland, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.Our warming world means billowing fires, breaking glaciers — and deadlier diseases. More than 415,000 Nova Scotia Power customers — about 80% in the province of almost 1 million people — had been affected by outages Saturday.Cape Breton Regional Municipality Mayor Amanda McDougall said Sunday over 200 people had been displaced and were in temporary shelters. Over 70 roads are completely inaccessible in her region, which declared a state of emergency. She said she couldn’t count the number of homes damaged in her own neighborhood.
Much of the town of 4,000 had been evacuated and Button said officials on Sunday will identify areas where people can safely go back to their homes. He asked for patience, noting some residents are showing up at barricades angry and wanting to go home. “We are seeing devastating images coming out of Port aux Basques. [Prince Edward Island] has experienced storm damage like they’ve never seen. Cape Breton is being hit hard, too,” Trudeau said.
