Dorian Turns Wrath on Canada

The storm that has already walloped the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, and North Carolina is now bringing hurricane-force winds to far-eastern Canada, reports the AP. Dorian has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people, toppled a huge construction crane, and ripped roofs off apartments in the city of Halifax. The US National Hurricane Center says the post-tropical cyclone was centered about 55 miles east-northeast of Anticosti Island Sunday morning and had top sustained winds of 80mph. It was heading to the north-northwest, roughly up the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Meanwhile, authorities in the Bahamas were scrambling to find shelter for tens of thousands left homeless by a storm that struck with Category 5 force. The storm is blamed for at least 49 deaths. (Dorian left North Carolina's Outer Banks in rough shape on Saturday as it headed up the East Coast.)
