Dorian Leaves a Path of Death and Destruction

VOA News

   Dorian, now a post-tropical cyclone, is expected to move over or near
   the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador Sunday and then
   enter the North Atlantic.

   The storm hit Canada's Atlantic coast Saturday with heavy wind and
   rains that toppled a construction crane into the side of an apartment
   building under construction in Halifax, the provincial capital of Nova
   Scotia.

   Nova Scotia Power told the Associated Press that 300,000 customers of
   Halifax, which has a population of 400,000, were without power late
   Saturday.

   Before reaching Canada, Dorian moved over extreme southeastern
   Massachusetts and Maine in the U.S.

   On Friday, Dorian made landfall over Cape Hatteras, North Carolina,
   after weakening into a Category 1 storm. It generated tornadoes, severe
   storm surges and flooding in coastal areas in North and South Carolina.

   Steve Harris, a resident of North Carolina's Ocracoke Island said, "We
   went from almost no water to 4 to 6 feet in a matter of minutes."
