"We were up all night," said Dave DeBlois of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, who said there was no major damage to his home. "Was a bit scary at times," he said. "You could feel the house sway." Designated a hurricane as it lashed Caribbean islands earlier in the week, Fiona killed at least eight people and knocked out power for virtually all of Puerto Rico's 3.3 million people during a sweltering heat wave.
