Big thanks to the staff and students @ANC_of_NL for the warm welcome this week, as we shared information about how to stay safe during power outages and emergencies with our friends @redcrosscanada. #StaySafe#EnergyFromTheHeart
ICYMI: “I’d get up two, three o’clock in the morning, night after night, come out to the kitchen table and work the numbers every which way, trying to figure out how we could make it work,” Roland Genge told @SaltWireNetwork

Every year we hear stories of damage in the Caribbean, obviously our structures can't withstand category 3 to 5 hurricanes, but that is what we need to be thinking about. @MunicipalNL@GovNL @MPA_GovNL #nlwx
With the increase in severity of weather events, should we be looking at municipal zoning and building codes? Homes that appeared to be in good condition, disappeared. Should that be a priority resolve? @MunicipalNL@WreckhousePress@CBCNL#NLstorm#nlwx
Two different political approaches to Hurricane #Fiona… NS and PEI premiers hold public briefings to answer questions and reassure those affected, while in NL — where Port-aux-Basques is in a state of emergency and at least 20 houses swept into the sea — no such availability.
We would like to apologize for the ill-timed tweet regarding #HurricaneFiona from earlier today. You can be assured the safety and security of Canadians in the region is our priority.

5 PM AST advisory-
#Fiona has weakened to a post-tropical-storm force cyclone over #AtlanticCanada. Hurricane and tropical storm warnings have been discontinued for Atlantic Canada. This is the LAST advisory from the NHC on Fiona.
Multiple power poles have come down along the water in Port aux Basques. Video is from the @NTVNewsNL crew in the area. Seeing reports of major damage in the area. Dangerous situation unfolding. High tide still a half hour away. #NLwx#fiona
Shame on you, @FishOceansCAN. You’re concerned about a few lobsters when people in #PortauxBasques are losing their homes due to #Fiona and literally have nothing. Good grief. I sincerely hope this turns into the PR nightmare it should be #nlpoli#cdnpoli
