Officials at the J.A. Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport in Cape Breton say the powerful post-tropical storm ripped steel panels off several buildings in September, and the repairs could take up to a year.
Cape Breton Regional Police Chief Robert Walsh says the number of weapons complaints is increasing and one recent case involved shots fired in the direction of officers.
About a dozen high-voltage power poles are blocking the road into the J.A. Douglas McCurdy Airport in Sydney, N.S. Flights are grounded until crews can clear the way for the public.
Cape Breton Regional Municipality and Victoria County have declared a state of local emergency and are asking residents to shelter in place as post-tropical storm Fiona has knocked out power to thousands and closed roads.
