Four Years Since Storm Fiona Hit CB

Four years ago today, Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Cape Breton as a post-tropical storm.

The storm caused widespread damage across the Island, with downed trees and damaged buildings.

Some people went without power for weeks as crews worked to make repairs.

Fiona was one of the most powerful and destructive storms in Canadian history.

Mount Allison University professor Corrine Cash says her research shows the average Cape Breton household lost $4,000 because of Fiona.
