The power is back on for most Nova Scotians after a windy winter storm swept through the region.
The blast of winter weather knocked out the electricity to over 72,000 homes and businesses at the storm’s peak.
Close to 40,000 customers were still without power on Saturday morning.
Live from just outside of Annapolis Royal, our Field Projects Lead, Wayne Theriault shares an update on power restoration for customers in the area.
