In Halifax, post-tropical storm Lee left behind debris, damaged property and power outages for many to clean up after.
Halifax Regional Municipality started cleaning roads late Saturday night. City crews worked to remove fallen trees and branches on road.
“We’ve had excavators out so the province has been working with us on the roadway systems within the municipality to clean everything so all our roads are currently open,” said Erica Fleck, Halifax Regional Municipality’s director of Emergency Management.
The storm surge caused washed out streets and had rocks littered across many roadways.
During post-tropical storm Lee, well over 30,000 people lost power in the Halifax-area, including residents in a building on Kent Street. Power lines were ripped from the building which was caused by a tree falling over.
Along with taking down power lines, the tree damaged three cars that were parked along the side of the street during the storm.
