{O/C} Hurricane Fiona just ploughed past homes and buildings in Atlantic Canada with its wicked winds.
This, after making landfall in Nova Scotia as a huge and formidable post-tropical cyclone.

Fiona whipped the region with incessant rains and hurricane-force winds.
More than 415,000 Nova Scotia residents are affected by power outages, with over 82,000 in the province of Prince Edward Island left in the dark.
A state of local emergency has been declared amid massive blackouts, road blockages, uprooted trees and obliterated homes.
Roofs were perforated and houses were torn to shreds.
Storms are rare in Canada.
Fiona barrelled towards the country after scything through Bermuda, where there were no reports of major damage.
