South Shore: Power Restored In Queens/Lunenburg

About 5,000 people have their power back in sections of Queens and Lunenburg counties. The outage hit shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. Nova Scotia Power crews got to the problem quickly and were able to put the lights back on under an hour later. High wind and heavy rain is pounding parts of the South Shore. It's part of a fall storm predicted by Environment Canada. Wind gusts could blow up to 80 kilometres today. There was a power bump earlier in Bridgewater (Pinecrest Subdivision/Jubliee Road) but that was also restored. We'll keep you updated on all/any power outages throughout the South Shore.
