(AP) \u2014 Fiona washed houses into the sea, tore the roofs off others and knocked out power to the vast majority of two Canadian provinces as it made landfall before dawn Saturday as a big, powerful post-tropical cyclone.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Fiona transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical storm late Friday, but it still had hurricane-strength winds and brought drenching rains and huge waves. There was no confirmation of fatalities or injures.<\/p>\n

Ocean waves pounded the town of Channel-Port Aux Basques on the southern coast of Newfoundland, where entire structures were washed into the sea. Mayor Brian Button said Saturday over social media
\nthat people were being evacuated to high ground as winds knocked down power lines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m seeing homes in the ocean. I\u2019m seeing rubble floating all over the place. It\u2019s complete and utter destruction. There\u2019s an apartment that is gone,\u201d said Rene J. Roy, a resident of Channel-Port Aux Basques and chief editor at Wreckhouse Press, said in a phone interview.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Roy estimated between eight to 12 houses and buildings have washed into the sea. \u201cIt\u2019s quite terrifying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jolene Garland, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland and Labrador, said a woman was safe and in \u201cgood health\u201d after being \u201ctossed into the water as her home
\ncollapsed\u201d in the Channel-Port Aux Basques area. Garland said that an individual who might have been swept away was still reported as missing and that high winds were preventing an aerial search.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the town of 4,000 people was in a state of emergency as authorities dealt with multiple electrical fires and residential flooding.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cancelled his trip to Japan for the funeral for assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trudeau said the federal government would deploy the Canadian Armed Forces
\nto assist.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are seeing devastating images coming out of Port aux Basques. PEI (Prince Edward Island) has experienced storm damage like they\u2019ve never seen. Cape Breton is being hit hard, too,\u201d Trudeau said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cCanadians are thinking of all those affected by Hurricane Fiona, which is having devastating effects in the Atlantic provinces and eastern Quebec, particularly in the Magdalen Islands. There are people who see their houses destroyed, people who are very worried \u2014 we will be there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said the roof of an apartment building collapsed and they moved 100 people to a evacuation center. He said no one was seriously hurt or killed. Provincial officials said there are other apartment buildings that are also significantly damaged. Halifax has about 160 people displaced from two apartments, officials said.<\/p>\n

More than 415,000 Nova Scotia Power customers \u2014 about 80% of the province of almost 1 million \u2014 were affected by outages Saturday morning. Over 82,000 customers in the province of Prince Edward
\nIsland, about 95%, were also without power, while NB Power in New Brunswick reported 44,329 were without electricity.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Hurricane Centre tweeted early Saturday that Fiona had the lowest pressure ever recorded for a storm making landfall in Canada. Forecasters had warned it could be the one of the most
\npowerful storms to hit the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting more severe storms more frequently,\u201d Trudeau said Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He said more resilient infrastructure is needed to be able withstand extreme weather events, saying a one in a 100 year storm might start to hit every few years because of climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are only getting worse,\u201d Trudeau said.<\/p>\n

A state of local emergency was also declared by the mayor and council of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are homes that have been significantly damaged due to downed trees, big old trees falling down and causing significant damage. We\u2019re also seeing houses that their roofs have completely torn off, windows breaking in. There is a huge amount of debris in the roadways,\u201d Amanda McDougall, mayor of Cape Breton Regional Municipality, told The Associated Press<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of damage to belongings and structures but no injuries to people as of this point. Again we\u2019re still in the midst of this,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s still terrifying. I\u2019m just sitting here in my living room and it feels like the patio doors are going to break in with those big gusts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said roads were washed out, including his own, and said an \u201cincredible\u201d amount of trees were down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is pretty devastating. The sad reality is the people who need information are unable to hear it. Their phones are not working, they don\u2019t have power or access to the internet,\u201d Houston
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

Peter Gregg, President and CEO of Nova Scotia Power, said unprecedented peak winds caused severe damage. \u201cIn many areas, weather conditions are still too dangerous for our crews to get up in our bucket trucks,\u201d Gregg said. He said about 380,000 customers remain without power as of Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said they had no reports of any significant injures or deaths. But he said few communities were spared damage, with the devastation looking to be beyond anything they had seen previously in the province. He said over 95% of islanders remained without power.<\/p>\n

Federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair said there was very extensive damage at the airport in Sydney, Nova Scotia. He said other airports also were hit, but that damage at the Halifax
\nfacility, Nova Scotia\u2019s largest airport, was minor.<\/p>\n

Fiona had weakened to tropical storm strength late Saturday afternoon as it moved across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The U.S. hurricane center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph). It was centered about 80 miles (130 kilomters) northwest of Port aux Basques and moving northeast at 8 mph (13 kph).<\/p>\n

Tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 550 miles (890 kilometers).<\/p>\n

Hurricanes in Canada are somewhat rare, in part because once the storms reach colder waters, they lose their main source of energy.<\/p>\n

But post-tropical cyclones still can have hurricane-strength winds, although they have a cold core and no visible eye. They also often lose their symmetric form and more resemble a comma.<\/p>\n

In Sydney, Nova Scotia, the largest city in Cape Breton, about 20 people took refuge at the Centre 200 sports and entertainment facility, said Christina Lamey, a spokeswoman for the region. Lemay said there were hundreds of people displaced in the province.<\/p>\n

Arlene and Robert Grafilo fled to Centre 200 with their children, ages 3 and 10, after a huge tree fell on their duplex apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were trapped and we couldn\u2019t open the doors and the windows, so that\u2019s when we decided to call 911,\u201d Arlene Grafilo said. She said firefighters eventually rescued them.<\/p>\n

Fiona so far has been blamed for at least five deaths \u2014 two in Puerto Rico, two in the Dominican Republic and one in the French island of Guadeloupe.<\/p>\n

In the Caribbean, Tropical Storm Ian was predicted to rapidly strengthen and hit Cuba early Tuesday as a hurricane and then hit southern Florida on Wednesday or Thursday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.<\/p>\n

Ian was centered about 255 miles (410 kilometers) south of Kingston, Jamaica, late Saturday afternoon. It had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) and was moving west at 16 mph (26 kph). A hurricane watch was issued for the Cayman Islands.<\/p>\n
