A long procession of intense thunderstorms have dumped record amounts of rain across a wide swath of Nova Scotia
And it was only last fall that post-tropical storm Fiona descended on the Atlantic region, killing three people, flattening scores of homes and knocking out power to more than 600,000 homes and businesses. Fiona was the most costly weather event in the region’s history, causing more than $800 million in insured damage.
“I’m old enough to remember that one,” Savage said. “But the consistent, violent nature of the thunderstorms last night and into this morning were frightening. It’s put a lot of people in a tough position. If you’ve ever had water in your basement, it’s not a fun situation.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged the widespread blackouts and damages at an unrelated afternoon event in Toronto, saying the federal government stands ready to provide whatever support the province and its residents may need.
