TORONTO - The storm that has already walloped the Virgin Islands, Bahamas and North Carolina brought hurricane-force winds to far-eastern Canada on Sunday , knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people.
The US National Hurricane Centre said the post-tropical cyclone was centred about 50km east-southeast of Cape Whittle, Quebec, late on Sunday morning. Top sustained winds had slipped to 120kmh, just above the threshold of hurricane force.Nova Scotia officials asked people in the province to stay off the roads so crews could safety remove trees and debris and restore power.
As the storm plowed into Prince Edward Island, about 50,000 homes and businesses were soon without power, as were another 74,000 in New Brunswick. The country's National Emergency Management Agency said it was sending in extra staff because operations had been hampered by the storm's impact on local workers.
