Dorian's made felt in Canada | He left a line of …

Nearly a week after destroying the Bahamas and making 43 dead, Hurricane Dorian struck Canada's shores. It caused flooding and left more than 500,000 homes without electricity in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Deaths have not yet been reported and Canadian President Justin Trudeau has said his government is ready to deal with the hurricane. Dorian finally returned to the sea this Sunday.

On Saturday night, Hurricane Dorian hit Canadian lands near the city of Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. The Canadian Hurricane Center (CCH), which described the Dorian as a "very intense post-tropical cyclone" with winds of up to 140 km / h, reported receiving "countless reports" of trees slaughtered. The hurricane also caused torrential rains and waves of nearly 20 meters that hit the Canadian coast, according to the CCH.

Nova Scotia Power Inc.'s power company announced that 380,000 customers were running out of power following the storm. Then about 50,000 homes and businesses ran out of power, as did 74,000 in New Brunswick.

The 400,000 or so inhabitants of Halifax prepared for the rains and floods, and the city authorities asked the public to attach any heavy objects that could be carried away by the hurricane wind. In addition, businesses were encouraged to close earlier. "We do not want the citizens of Halifax to walk around the center with the arrival of the waters," said Erica Fleck, badistant manager of community risk reduction in the city.

Due to the wind, a crane that was in a building under construction broke and struck the side of another building. In the south of the city, strong gusts ripped off the roof of a building and Jeff Paris, a Canadian firefighter, announced the evacuation of several buildings. Paris said that "it is a fortune that has not been seriously injured or killed" despite the fall of the crane, hundreds of trees and power lines.

On Sunday at nine in the morning, Dorian had returned to the sea, the CCH reported. "It's over, we can now start cleaning as soon as the sun comes up," said Paul Mason, a member of the Nova Scotia Emergency Department. The streets of Halifax have already begun to be cleaned and the trunks of fallen trees have been cut by chainsaw and removed.

For his part, the Canadian Prime Minister stated that his government was "ready to help Atlantic Canada cope with this storm". Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety, has announced the dispatch of 700 soldiers to the area to help restore electrical service and evacuate residents in flooded areas.

Canadian authorities say they are better prepared to deal with the ravages of Dorian than they did in 2003 for Hurricane Juan.

According to the latest CHC report, Dorian goes into the sea heading for the Gulf of San Lorenzo with winds reaching 130 km / h. The CHC stated that the hurricane "will slowly weaken as it continues" towards the Strait of Belle Isle, between the island of Newfoundland and the Labrador Peninsula. "However, it still produces strong winds and rains north and west of the trail," warned Canadian meteorologists.

Until now, the hurricane has been devastated in the Bahamas, where Dorian hit last week with category 5 and winds of 295 km / h. The hurricane has killed 43 people in total, but the authorities predict that this figure will increase significantly due to the number of people who are still missing.

Planes, cruises and yachts help evacuate the inhabitants of the Abaco Islands and the authorities are trying to reach areas still isolated by floods and debris. Hundreds of residents were evacuated to Nbadau, the island's capital, by the port and airport of Marsh Harbor, which, although destroyed, was put back into service.

According to the United Nations (UN), at least 70,000 people need "immediate badistance" in the Bahamas. The UN World Food Program has sent 15,000 meals and tons of building materials to island residents. Meanwhile, the French government sent soldiers to help with the reconstruction and President Donald Trump sent the US Coast Guard and promised to help him.
