Nova Scotia Power opened its emergency operation centre to respond to the storm. The utility said it may take a while to restore all power because of road conditions after flash flooding slammed the Halifax area.
At the peak of the outages, Nova Scotia Power said more than 70,000 customers were in the dark.
