Hundreds of thousands of customers in the Maritime provinces are without power as post-tropical storm Fiona brings intense, hurricane-strength winds and torrential rains to large swaths of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
Fiona made landfall in Nova Scotia shortly after 3 a.m. ET between Canso and Guysborough.
#Fiona has turned this street into a wind-whipped river. The trees on the other side of the street all knocked down over the last few hours. Wind and rain moving with incredible force here in Charlottetown. Gusts in PEI up to 150 km/hr. pic.twitter.com/8b0aGFsCi9
