- People in Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador will be rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of post-tropical storm Fiona.
Mike Drolet speaks with residents about the terror they survived, and hears how one man fought for his life after being swept out to sea.
Thousands of residents and businesses in Nova Scotia have also been left powerless after the post-tropical storm.
As Shallima Maharaj reports from Glace Bay, crews are working around the clock to restore electricity.

Can't imagine the fear people must of had. You can see it in Smokeys eyes, talking about fighting for his life. My heart goes out to all effected .
Poor Smokey! One can see he was terrified beyond belief! Thank goodness you are still here……Everything else can be replaced. Prayers for all of those affected by this horrific storm. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm so grateful for Stu rescuing his brother Smokey. He can't swim (not that it would have helped at the time). I'm also grateful that Jocelyn had her brother-in-law and neighbours around to rescue her. Darin, Amy, and Allie broke my heart, and same goes for every single person who has suffered as a result of this.
@@WreckhouseNL Yes, they were very lucky! They must have had guardian angels working to protect them and make everyone safe again. My condolences to the families that have lost a loved one. With love from Ontario Canada, Susan
Wow, that was horrifying. Our hearts go out to the Maritimes.
I h
It was pretty scary. Never felt anything like it. The force of the hurricane winds just so forceful. I thought the roof was going to rip right off that night.
My condolences to the people affected by Fiona 🥲
Prayer’s go out to all the families and victims that suffered from the terrifying forces of hurricane Fiona .
From now on, houses have to be built out of concrete and bricks like those in Europe, and the Port
secured by a concrete wall. Prayers for all who suffered.
Can’t agree more! It’s just a common sense!!
@@t.v.4551 yet they have lived there for a hundred plus years and never had this happen. So no it is not common sense. If you have the big bucks to build homes that way great, build them a home that you think would have survived.
@@GrampiesCorner there are houses over 100 years old that are still standing, yet every newer built structure nearby was flattened?
Love you Atlantik Canada & Maritimers ! Nova Scotians ! New brunswhichers ! Prince Edward Islanders ! Newfoundlanders! Stay safe ! Am imagining and will conduct physical training dedicated to a relief effort scenarios in relation to the event as part of my continuing initiative called the Dragon Army a public private citizen service & security initiative ! Go relief effort workers go! Love from Montreal !PS: Since like to offer more than bla bla bla let it be known that am offering all those involved in the recovery work free Dragon Hugs for life with some kisses and love with that for all those who want my offer. Love ya !
Concrete and Bricks don't mix with our climate.
So good to see you Dawna …
I guess they forgot about the Newfoundland hurricane of 1775
Lol, that wouldn’t be so difficult
@@t.v.4551 Do you have a point, or just the need to spout anonymously?
George, why are you assuming they forgot?
The reporter said "Many of them LIVED through countless storms" and "This was the first hurricane they truly felt scared"
He is speaking about their life experience. Nobody from 1775 is alive today so there is nothing wrong with what he said.
There is no need to be snarky. Especially over your assumptions!
@@carlosp8697 , with an attitude like that you sound like an Upper Canadian. Contrary to what you wrote, I said nothing about them experiencing the 1775 hurricane; but i did assume that anyone living on the coast of NFLD. would be aware of a hurricane in wh9ich an estimated 4,000 people, mostly seafarers died. What I was referring to was their reported belief that the "offshore Islands would act as natural storm breakers". Perhaps in your haste to spout off you missed that.
@@georgejenkins3371 I'm not the one with the attitude... It's you that is more focused on what WASN'T said rather than the tragedy itself!
I am very aware what you said and what you meant to say, it's you that is having trouble reading. I was quoting the reporter, not you... Thats enough evidence for me to question your reading abilities.
Most people give their condolences to the ones affected and show their love and support. You in the other hand, you make snarky comments and assumption that they don't know their history. Why?
If people around you are on fire, and a reporter talks about their pain. Pain that they have never experienced before in their lifetime! What is the point about talking about a bigger fire that happened in 1775? Why would anyone assume the reporter is not aware of this bigger fire? Does the bigger fire matter at this point? Only a sad individual like yourself is talking about the big fire of 1775 when the people around you are in pain.
Stop it and grow up, start focusing on what truly matters!
People there aren't used to the really really big hurricanes. The storms are much stronger than in the past. Thank God it wasn't worse. ✌🇨🇦❤
But we are. We get hurricanes during the active season weekly. We are used to 200 kms of wind. Our houses are built to withstand very VERY extreme weather. But this is nothing like we've ever seen before. We are used to storm surges as well. But the intensity of this was completely incomprehensible. Ive been in Florida during some very bad hurricanes but I've never seen anything like Fiona.
why does she still have a job! After two years of laying, is anyone listing to her.
Sorry for all the people affected by Fiona.
When you live in hurricane zone you expect this.
People please don't film the storm get out. May God be with you and provide all that you need in the coming day's and month's.
Devastating 😢
Couldn't even give the poor man a hug? Do better man.
Horrible what we are doing to the planet and ourselves.
What a sin, this is heartbreaking
How do you not understand that I’m really upset with this and I’m trying to be nice to the people around there, that comment you made is so rude

@@Ellafrog501 Sorry i did not mean to be rude and i take it back? i'm upset about being used and aubused by carless partying nest door with Barking German shepards. i don't want animal control to have to come and take them but i don't know what to doo? Sorry taking it out with out notice but its hard to do when one is still in the battle of atoimmune induced medication. MAY YOUR DAY'S BE BLESSED SOON.
Houses in canada made of wood not solid concrete... 😔
😢
So sorry…it’s sad.
God blessing Fiona.🤍
Gods Bleesing Fiona for what? it did enough destruction.
I have seen NL homes that just sit on rocks.
Yep, and they’ve been there for probably 100 years, yet all the newer built shacks were decimated? Tells us that they don’t build them like they used to!!!

What about Bell island
What about it?
@@derekandre31 I have friends there the Terrant family
@@anthonytinto7090 Oh I see. Bell Island wasn’t affected. Only the southwest coast of NL.
@@derekandre31 Thank you brother
big house like Swedish people do
Everyone was told days before the storm to leave and seek shelter inland , Yet no .....Stay and and Film it on your cell phones. Duh
No they weren't. Your comment is helping no one.
The lord is causing these storms not "climate changes "
I also confirmed that I solved the problem of global warming. If anyone thinks that I can't fix this problem to the end, I don't mind.
From what I have researched and analyzed The violence is increasing than it has been every year.
If the UN approves me to solve the global warming problem, I will quickly fix the problem. I have enough information to prove to everyone that there is a solution and a solution to the problem of global warming to return to normal
Possibly part of the rising temperature is that hell is getting hotter. That has been suggested but I haven't heard of any reports coming in from field investigations.
...Jupiter's close approach is affecting the weather...?
I think so too. This is the closest Jupiter has been in more than 50 years. Everything Jupiter touches enlarges. My heart and prayers go out to these families 💝
I don't understand the logic behind staying in a house that has high waves smashing the windows. Something else I don't understand either is staying in a house while waves damage, or destroy a house.
Or they can run outside and gets crush by debris. Is there really much choice.
If you leave after the storm surge hits you're essentially jumping in water and it's not like you know when it's going to hit again right? The only logic at play is to get to higher ground or if still inside, go upstairs.
If you lived there yourself, perhaps you would have understood more
@@robertdabob8939 What about leaving before it hits?
Staying inside a house while waves damage, or destroy a house probably will hurt, or kill whoever has chosen to stay inside. Going to higher ground somewhere outside where the waves cannot reach might help.
They weren't! The waves just started to crest that high and they were getting ready to leave!
you were told to evacuate, you stayed and got shown why you should listen
Nice Naritive Global News. Blame climate change.
*HoW DaRe YoU* 🥴
I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire $23,000 every 12 days of my investment.
How I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it. Please can you list the platforms?
I met expert Penny Pennington last year for the first time at a conference in New York city I invested €24,000 and traded in a month making €186,000.
Long term investment is the best now. I invested 5000 usd with Mrs Penny Pennington and I top up my trade with 1000 usd every week. Now I'm having over 48,000 usd on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important...
Trading with an expert trader is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trades.
OH please, is there anyway I can speak to Penny Pennington , this sounds so helpful and would love to join the train and start my trading with her 🙏
Had to dislike for the climate change quip but excellent stories otherwise newfoundlanders are tough they’ll rebuild.
Climate change is very, very real.
I am fast view
"It wasn't that bad." Trudeau and the Liberals
It's not climate change, hurricanes have been around forever, quit with the climate hysteria will ya!
Climate change? Nah - the weather was worse once upon a time.
Cycles yep. Climate change is the politicization of these cycles in order to take control over energy and resources.
Just because you don’t understand science, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
@@derekandre31 what science? Show us and I'll show you who funds it. Oh, wait.. do you mean the so called consensus? Yeah, that's called argumentum ad populum. It's a logical fallacy.
They should built better quality houses not cardboard
Ya that’s it, “climate change” 🙄
Thanks China for continued
- building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and
- burning more and more *fossil fuel.*
Canada has higher CO2 emissions per capita than most countries in the world. Keep blaming people across the world instead of demanding better from our own leaders, businesses, and people. I'm sure this strategy will help solve global warming.
The climate is always changing. It changed long before us and will change long after us with every solar flare and with every Disobedience of God
2 Chronicles 7:13,14
Solar flares have nothing to do with climate change, nor does God.
Please educate yourself scientifically on climate change.
@@chiseledhead5297 Yes, it's a tool used by the establishment to take your money. You likely make f all anyway so you'd hardly notice a difference.
@@chiseledhead5297 and yet he is entitled to his opinion. Do not judge; leave this job to the God.
@@t.v.4551 Nobody is judging him. We are merely attempting to educate him.
According to the CBC, the island is actually Fillipino, so why is it Canada's problem anymore ? Loving diversity and gayness, eh ?
..what?
What a sin, this is heartbreaking
