nova scotia power says it activated an emergency operations center to serve as the coordination area for response. listen to this. >> we've been reaching out to contractors in new brunswick, maine, possibly even into quebec and ontario. we're in conversations with the companies who are in storm prep mode. >> we've been in contact and discussions with the military to give them a head's up. we're looking at preparing for if need be after the storm an application for a federal disaster financial assistance if that is necessary. >> let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. and as we saw there, canada's east coast really getting the worst of fiona. >> right now is the worst of the fiona fury. in fact just moments ago, the canadian hurricane center just tweeted even though this still needs to be verified that fiona is making landfall as we speak. and there is an unofficial barometric pressure reading of 936 millibars over eastern nova scotia that would put it at the lowest land falling cyclone to reach canada ever. that really puts the storm into context. some of the strongest wind gusts

we have two very successful land-based salmon farms here in nova scotia.s are beginning to come down. they will eventually get close to parity with the open-salmon pens. but people have to understand and they have to make the decision when they eat. we have to make a decision that we are going to eat in a way that aligns with your values, with the climate crisis we're facing, and with issues of social justice. we heard earlier about taking the food out of the mouths of low income people. this requires a drive on the part of consumers who go to the seafood counter or when you sit down at the restaurant, asked where the salmon came from. was it formed on the ocean or did it come from a land-based facility? if it is from a land-based facility, it is safer for the environment and safer for your health, because they don't have any residue from chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics. so, this comes down to making smart, informed choices as an individual. >> the environmental fund funded a study recently that shows that consumers are ready for this. . the numbers wer

radar very busy for halifax and central and eastern sections of no nova scotia. can see the areas, overnight, showers and thunderstorms continue overnight as the storm presses northward. but with the fast forward motion of this particular system, we're going to limit that flash flooding. we've seen the reports on the round, electricity polls have been snapped, trees bent over and damage to buildings as well. in fact, the latest figures showing 360,000 people without power in nova scotia alone, kim. >> all right. stand by, derek will be back on another storm. now, i want to bring in brian button, the mayor of port obas, on the northern coast. thanks for being with us. they're being pummelled, three story waves, what's the indication on your coast right now? >> right now, the winds have picked up considerable since overnight, we've got pounding rain as well. even here at my place. i'm a little bit higher. i guess, part of the community. and the winds, before i came here to sit down to talk with you, the winds are just pounding here now. >> yeah, i used to live in h

that's actually located along the coast of nova scotia. tropical storm force winds which has the possibility of bringing damage, extends over 345 miles. these are the forecast wind gusts impacting this area. bottom line, what you need to know, it is dangerous across this region, and we've already knocked out over 360,000 customers without power, plunging people into total darkness across nova scotia as we speak. hurricane warnings continue for these locations. radar very active across halifax where we anticipate heavy rainfall. but the forward motion, the momentum from this storm as it races north, is going to limit our flash flood potential, but really the ongoing threats here for the next three to six hours, newfoundland, prince edward islands, nova scotia, storm surge, dangerous winds, and extremely heavy rain. we have so much more to talk about. a very busy atlantic tropical base. this looks like the peak of the season even though we're off by a couple of weeks. the central caribbean has flared up. we have newly formed tropical storm i

there's still hundreds of thousands of people without powerjust in nova scotia. in prince edward island and just over 33,000 in new brunswick. the power outage numbers in newfoundland and labrador are not as high but the structural and infrastructure damage there is much greater. justin trudeau said that he will give whatever resources are required. from your perspective, what do you need? well, i would say that the first priority will be for power crews to be able to get to the lines and get to the poles to restore power, so i would suspect — in my experience would tell me — that crews would come in to help with the tree clearing and debris clearing to allow power crews to do theirjob. once power is restored, then there will be a better assessment of damage to people's homes and if they can return, and when. and for those who have been affected by the storms, what is your advice to them? either in areas where the weather has maybe passed or in areas where it is still ongoing, what should people do? so, in newfoundland on the west coast, it is still very stormy t

about a 100 people were evacuated in halifax, the provincial capital, nearly 3 quarters of nova scotia was left without power. as crews raised to restore electricity and mist widespread reports of down trees and power lines. the mayor of halifax told al jazeera he had no doubt, climate change made the storm worse with the climate change in particular, and the volatility of weather these days. we've been getting more of these hurricanes. fiona's northward passed then took it through the newfoundland town of portal basks. a woman was rescued from the sea after her house collapse. according to police, widespread damage lead the mayor to declare a state of emergency. posting this video to facebook. actually, hi, i'm going live here again and going to be pretty direct now with people. we're in the process here of calling a state of emergency. our tone is an all tents purposes. we are already in a state of emergency. no serious injuries or feet. holidays were reported in the hours after fiona came ashore. the authorities cautioned the danger is not yet over . fiona has weakened but may pick

were we in our own area of halifax, the capital of nova scotia? we. the storm has pretty much patched through it was a wild night and morning here in halifax with a lot of destruction of trees, an apartment building with roof collapse. we had a lot of damage so far. we don't think there's been a lot of loss of life for injury, but there is close to facts north of us, really being his ard, and they're still assessing the damage and knew from the land north of nova scotia houses up and swept into the sea. so it's a very damaging store. there were evacuations, did everyone who needed to evacuate? do so in our area, everybody that needed to move out as moved out. where, of course, asking people to check on neighbors. still, you know, most, most places don't have power. my own house doesn't have power but it's becoming more manageable and the folks who are restoring power. ready working hard at it and so i think in halifax, perhaps the worst is fast, but in other parts of atlantic canada, the east coast, the storm continues against. what is the path, what

nova scotia. we can tell you, you can see behind me. definitely, peak wave heights. still strong winds. thankfully, no reports of flooding this morning. also no reports of any injuries. which we are obviously very relieved to wake up and see. that being said, the big problem, as predicted, power outages. which we saw in puerto rico. and we saw it in bermuda. as fiona made her way up the east coast into canada. more than 300,000 people, according to nova scotia power. waking up without electricity. again, heavy winds continue to expand. and could easily grow. and for that reason, officials are still issuing warnings to people. to take this seriously. and just be really careful. as the owner's wrath plays out in realtime. here is part of what the mayor told us yesterday. take a listen. >> people who are scared, are smart. and we hope that it doesn't come to the most extreme but we need to be ready for it to be that. >> again that was the mayor of halifax. nova scotia. and this morning we talked abou

20 years after doctor sheet, his 1st observations, and no such te, set off on an expedition to nova scotia, to tag and follow the movements of great white shops. when they arrived in september 2020, the location was ideal for finding shocks, and the weather was beautiful. but they were clearly gone. they had left ah, they were avoiding that area and, and staying off shore. it seems the sharks had sent something and sure enough, shortly after hurricane teddy pummeled the nova scotia coast, the calm seas of attacking sight was seen transformed by 10 me to waves. from his previous work on black tit shocks, dr. hutto was able to make deductions about the great white shocks in nova scotia by inference. we. we conclude that the sharks that could have been there and that in that very productive place, left, roll it out off shore and deeper water. and then when the hurricane effects were we're pretty much cleaned up returned. and that's where we found several days later . tolbert further down the coast. when the sharks returned, the team was able to catch intact them on light goats. the shock tagg

seems the sharks had sent something and sure enough, shortly after hurricane teddy pummeled the nova scotia coast, the calm seas of the tagging site was soon transformed by 10 me to waves from his previous work on black tit shocks, dr. hutto was able to make deductions about the great white shocks in nova scotia by inference. we. we conclude that the sharks that could have been there and that in that very productive place, left, rolling out all shore and deeper water. and then when the hurricane friday we're, we're pretty much cleaned up returned. and that's when we found them several days later over further down the coast. when the sharks returned, the team was able to catch intact them on light goats. the shocked tagging operation requires a large team of experts and a huge amount of logistics using an elevated platform, the shock is towed into place and the specialists set to work like a formula, one pit stop. each person on the team is responsible for their task, which they try to perform as quickly as possible to limit the distress to the animal. samples are taken on the shock his tag

real potential for western newfoundland and nova scotia. that is not only fiona causing the tropical mischief. we have our eyes set on the caribbean sea. that was an area of tropical disturbance that the national hurricane center has recognized. this area north of aruba could develop into our next named storm. computer models starting to cluster where 24 hours ago, there was quite a spread on timing and location. but now, we are really focusing our attention on the southern florida peninsula. midweek this week. lots to talk about. >> absolutely. we will be tracking it throughout the weekend. thanks so much. >>> now, the damage that fiona left in puerto rico will take some time to repair. the storm killed two people exactly two years after hurricane maria devastated the island. 100% federal funding for debris removal authorized by president biden. as of thursday, 890,000 customers now have running water and 38% of the homes have electricity but officials cannot estimate when power will be restored in the hardest hit area. fiona killed two pe

cape breton as it moves on shore in northern nova scotia, weakening as it comes on shore early tomorrow morning. and then begin to fall apart. but it's going to leave a line of destruction in that area, not only from flooding, but all the winds are going to be gusting there as well. all right, a completely different story. back out west. we go looking out over the bay from the berkeley hills back out toward the coast line. clear skies out there. what a beautiful friday around the bay are the temperatures still very pleasant at 70 degrees right on the coastline in pacifica right now. 86 over the hill in san mateo. 77 in alameda, still hot, 90 in concord and 81 interior also system. very nice weather on a friday evening and looks like it's going to stay that way to this big dome of high pressure likely to strengthen a bit. and that's going bring some nice weather all around the bay area around the state, even along the coastline. maybe just a couple of patches of fog in the morning. then here comes that sunshine, looking beautiful in the afternoon. head of the san francisco tomorrow. you

meanwhile, hurricane fiona making landfall in canada nova scotia. one mayor says his town suffered total devastation. nbc's -- and halifax for us. we will begin with meteorologist joe occurrence. bill, we will get a few more in a moment with you. what was the very latest on tropical storm ian? >> there is a lot of questions with ian. things are changing. storms that approach, especially the peninsula from the south are extremely difficult to forecast. florida is actually narrow from east to west if you drove across the state, if you know that, it takes about two hours. these approaching the south like this one, its latest adjustments, means big changes to the land area we're as going to get hit. the latest on the hurricane center it is a tropical storm, it is even. it is going west at 50 miles per hour. about south of jamaica throughout the evening, then by tomorrow it will be south of jamaica again. some debris position because it positions that it gets stronger. don't be surprised by tomorrow afternoon, evening, we talk about hurricane ian. and th

we have had hurricanes here in nova scotia in maritime canada before p but this is pretty bad. a lot of uprooted trees. power outages all over the place. and our bridges and our connections to transit are closed out. and so we're here in halifax. we are starting to see the active part of this and we can do more damage assessment. our thoughts out to people who are going to be suffering this for a while yet. >> and so you are in the very, very early stages of planning the damage assessment. have there been reports of severe damage or does it seem to be mostly manageable stuff? >> well, there is some severe damage for sure. we have just found out about an apartment that had a roof collapse. that's 100 people that we have to evacuate to a comfort center. that means that folks who are going to go there to get their cellphones charged and things like that, we prefer they don't do that while we are moving people in for their comfort and safety. our roads crews, parks and rec folks are looking to see here early this morning. we saw trees down and power lines. of course, we encourage p

coastal search, storm surge, 10—12 metre high waves battering the coast line now of some parts of nova scotiaoundland as well. as it moves, and it will move northwards, it could bring us much as 6—10 inches of rain, and it is pumping an awful lot of warm air headed into greenland as well, we could continue to see that back you can see the progress they further showers behind it, really life—threatening rip currents along the east coast, but we are now starting to get concerned, obviously this is going to give some severe impacts but we also have another storm forming, and running a major hurricane into parts of the south—east usa next week. it is very active. is this unusual in this part of the world? yes, it is. it does not happen every day. every couple of decades and it is very unusual for that part of the world. it will have big impacts. a uk euromillions player has won 171—million pounds in last night's draw — this morning, thatjackpot winner is now richer than adele or ozzy osbourne. the prize is the uk's third—largest ever — just 16 uk players have won more than 100—million—pounds in t

yeah, dangerous conditions developing along nova scotia. you see how it actually see cape breton. also see all that rain moving on shore already. the winds right front quadrant of that storm system beginning to move on shore, maybe as much as 10 inches of rain along this path. so here's the very latest right now sustained winds of 125 miles per hour. still a very strong system about to make its way on shore, expected to weaken here as it approaches the coastline. that's the good news. the downside is it's still coming on as a very strong system as it moves on shore by tomorrow morning. you see gets a little bit closer into early tomorrow morning. here comes on shore right there and beginning to weaken as it moves on shore. but it's going to be doing a tremendous amount of damage, especially in the northern part of nova scotia. there are a lot of wind damage, a lot damage from the huge waves are going to be moving along the coastline. that is going to be a messy storm cleaning up by tomorrow afternoon. but yeah, it's going to be rough night ahead. >> and this is, again, just the be

you can see already rain on the coast of nova scotia, basically covering all of nova scotia.going to slow down significantly right after it makes landfall. we're talking about a storm with 100-mile-per-hour winds possibly on the eastern side of nova scotia. this is tomorrow morning. so it quickly reaches the coast and then slows down. we could see 6 to 8 feet of storm surge, wave heights of 26 to 40 feet, unbelievable. you can see the colors in hot pink. that's 35 to 40-foot wave heights across that eastern edge, and then they'll continue as we go into saturday morning, saturday evening. the rainfall accumulation could be anywhere from 6 to 10 inches across this region. that is going to be significant for canada. this is tropical depression 9. 35-mile-per-hour winds moving at 14. this will be interesting because the water is very, very warm across the caribbean. we could see a major storm. this storm could go through rapid intensification where it strengthens very, very quickly. so we'll be watching it closely, category 1, possibly, then even category 3 by the time it makes i

this is looking to make landfall in canada, nova scotia province. i think around cape breton island. and the water is in this area running in some cases about $5.00 to $10.00 degrees above average. so that is going to provide fuel to the storm. now at this point, it's looking like saturday morning local time for nova scotia, and it's going to make that land for the winds will be sustained at a 155 kilometers per hour. that's equivalent to category to strength conditions, about 12 meter high wave. but all of that to say that this could be a historic storm for atlanta, canada. so certainly allies on your plan to canada in the coming days. several villages have been destroyed in northern nigeria. gadbois stays after flash floods breached to dance place. 38 people have been killed in flooding across the region which followed 2 days of torrential rain. thousands of people from the local authorities have been telling community living along the river banks to lays of interest has the dams are still on the flowing and their right they want is rising almost

you brunswick, prince edward island, and nova scotia. but check this out on friday. there we go. there we see fiona racing up the atlantic. that's a picture on friday and it's still raining across canada's maritime provinces. now i think at some point over the course of the weekend, probably on saturday, this is gonna make landfall. nova scotia, province in canada, probably on cape breton island. i think we're gonna be dealing with category to hurricane conditions. now, one important point here is that this will no longer be considered a hurricane. and a major reason for that is because it's left the tropics, but this is still going to be a weather maker. it's still going to pack a punch in terms of that rainfall and winds, as well. i still head on al jazeera ah, wearing to fight own protesters in the philippine capital, a promise to never forget. one of the countries darkest feuds, my plans thought to be the biblical garden of eden nationally turning into a desert wasteland. we talked a struggling farmers in iraq's southern marshes. ah, for an update on your world's weather will
