Nova Scotia, PEI utilities hope to have the majority of remaining electricity outages fixed in the next couple of days, but a timeline is yet to be established to restore power to thousands of homes in more remote areas
after Fiona slammed into Atlantic Canada, wreaking havoc on infrastructure and sending entire homes into the sea.
In many areas, large uprooted trees are impeding repair crews – some are so large that they can only be lifted with cranes. Maritime Electric spokesperson Kim Griffin said many homes will need to have individual hardware replaced and will require help from electricians, who were already in short supply before Fiona.
She also lost four months of diabetes shots that were worth more than $3,000. She can only heat water on the barbecue, so all of her cookware is slowly being destroyed.
