State of emergency has been declared by the province as there was so much damage to the power grid with 10's of thousands of people still without power. A few isolated communities have been evacuated due to damage to their power lines. Stores in town closed during the storm and experienced huge losses in produce and meat. Our little convenience store/coffee shop was the only store with power as they were fortunate enough to be on the same power line to the RCMP and fire station which had power restored very quickly. They sold out of bread and milk within a few hours and had a line up that snaked around the store. They sold over 1,000 cups of coffee Saturday morning. Owner allowed people to take items on the promise to pay when power was restored.
