Nova Scotia universities cancelled classes in the wake of post-tropical storm Fiona as power was knocked out in much of the region

Classes were cancelled at universities in Nova Scotia on Monday as students gathered in the few buildings still with power and anticipated being out of school for several days because of the damage wrought by post-tropical storm Fiona.

Kevin Bronson, a first-year science student, was in his residence Friday night when the worst of the storm hit. He said the wind was howling and windows were shaking. Around midnight the fire alarm sounded. At Cape Breton University near Sydney, classes were also cancelled Monday as power was knocked out in much of the region.

“It’s not like the students from India or other countries would’ve expected they’d be in the eye of one of the biggest hurricanes, by some measures, to ever hit Canada. Most were flabbergasted,” Mr. MacDougall said. “We’ve got power lines down everywhere, trees down, trees crashed into houses, sidewalks uprooted.”

I wish you luck.
