Since Saturday, September 24, the hurricane that has hit the east coast of the country has caused great damage, destroying homes and equipment. 500,000 homes are still without electricity and a woman is missing.
The power of the waves has taken a bite out of these shoreline homes in Chandler. At the eastern tip of Canada, the shoreline is ravaged by the raging ocean and winds up to 160 km/h. Houses torn down, power lines cut, material damage is considerable and a woman is missing. Opposite the mainland, the island of Newfoundland seems to have been returned to the sea, as here in the town of Port-au-Basque. The inhabitants, stranded at home, film the frightening spectacle of the water invading their village.
“I know these are extremely difficult times for many people who see their homes destroyed. But I also know that people know that they are not alone and that we will continue to be there for them”said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Cities are also affected. Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia has to accommodate many homeless residents. Sunday, September 25 in the morning, the winds fell to 80 km / h, but 500,000 homes are without electricity on this east coast of Canada. Authorities warn it will take several days before power can be restored.
