It’s a windy start to the day in Halifax and across much of Nova Scotia.
A wind warning was issued just before 5 a.m. by Environment Canada.
The warning, in effect for all of mainland Nova Scotia, called for winds gusting up to 90 km/h on Thursday morning.
“Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage,” the national forecaster wrote. “High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches.”
The winds did indeed lead to power outages. At one point early Thursday, more than 10,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were without power province-wide.
Meantime in Cape Breton, a Les Suêtes wind warning was in effect from Margaree Harbour to Bay St. Lawrence, calling for wind gusts up to 120 km/h into Thursday afternoon.
