| Comments | Nova Scotia, April 5, 2016. Several powers outages stretching from Annapolis Valley to Cape Breton resulted in up to 11,000 homes and businesses (approximately 33,000 individuals) being without power. The power outages were caused by strong winds and heavy rain that pushed trees onto power lines. The impacted areas included Coldbrook, Tatamagouche, Antigonish and Cheticamp. Many schools and businesses were closed due to the power outages and the Tancook Island Ferry service was shut down temporarily because of strong winds. |
