Ottawa-Sana
Canadian Emergencies Minister Bill Blair announced today that the extent of damage caused by Hurricane Fiona, which swept across the country's coasts, has not been seen in the region before.
And the Reuters news agency quoted Blair as saying: The scale of damage left by Fiona is unprecedented, and it is likely that the country will need several months to repair vital infrastructure buildings, homes and rooftops of community centers and schools, which were destroyed by the hurricane.
Cape Breton Island declared a state of emergency, and warnings were issued to its 132,000 residents.
Parts of Nova Scotia on the east coast of North America, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick saw heavy rain and winds of 150 kilometers per hour.
Hurricane Fiona hit eastern Canada yesterday, accompanied by strong winds that led to the downfall of trees, and power outages for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.
