Storm Fiona ravages Canada's east coast, causing 'terrible' damage

Eric Martin and John Morris STEVENVILLE, Newfoundland (Reuters) – Severe Storm Fiona swept across eastern Canada on Saturday, bringing hurricane-strength winds that forced evacuations and toppled trees and power lines, and reduced many houses on the coast to “just a pile of rubble in a sea. ” The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the center of the storm, downgraded to post-tropical Cyclone Fiona, is now in St. Lawrence Gulf and lose some steam.
