Storm Fiona makes landfall in Eastern Canada, leaves path of destruction

Post-tropical storm Fiona made landfall early Saturday morning, bringing severe wind, downing trees and leaving hundreds of thousands without power across eastern Canada.

Winds have been persistent since late last night, at times gusting 130 to over 140 kilometres per hour. The bay, which is normally rather calm, was nothing but waves this morning and was whipping up sea spray, as the winds and heavier rain picked up once again. Every so often, a power flash can be seen amid lighting strikes.
