Thousands without power in Atlantic Canada in aftermath of Hurricane Fiona

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Thousands of people in Atlantic Canada are without power after Hurricane Fiona ravaged Canada’s eastern seaboard on Saturday, CNN reports.

Hurricane Fiona had devastated parts of the Caribbean before moving up the Atlantic and making landfall again as a powerful post-tropical cyclone.

The storm made its way through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland before weakening and moving out to sea Sunday.

Trees were fallen, power lines were down and roads were washed out along with debris on the roads in Nova Scotia.

Officials are working on restoring power and communication networks.

On Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the government approved Nova Scotia’s request for federal assistance and that the Canadian Armed Forces will be deployed to help out in the region. The Prime Minister said residents lived through a “terrifying” 12 hours Saturday.

“People have seen their homes washed away, seen the winds rip schools’ roofs off. And as Canadians, as we always do in times of difficulty, we will be there for each other,” PM Trudeau added.
