As for the rainfall, communities in central and northern Nova Scotia received between 50 and 100 millimetres, as was forecast. Marine Atlantic, the Crown corporation that operates the ferry service linking Nova Scotia with Newfoundland, cancelled all sailings across the Cabot Strait on Wednesday. “We don’t expect any major impacts there.” Still, thousands of homes and businesses across Nova Scotia lost power overnight. By noon on Wednesday, about 18,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were in the dark. But it was clear that the pattern of outages had shifted from western Nova Scotia to Cape Breton, where almost 12,000 were without electricity.
