There are outages throughout the province.<\/p>\n<p>The power utility activated its emergency operations centre at noon, anticipating outages from the stormy weather.<\/p>\n<p>According to a news release from Nova Scotia Power, its emergency centre is a place to coordinate outage restorations and response.<\/p>\n<p>But the utility warned high winds of 80 km\/h or more could delay efforts to restore power, because it may not be safe for Nova Scotia Power crews to conduct work in a raised bucket truck.<\/p>\n<p>CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon said winds were expected to reach 100 km\/h in many parts of the province.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE TOP STORIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766204775_725_default.jpg\" data-cy=\"author-image-img\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"authorprofile-biography\">Anjuli Patil is a reporter with CBC Nova Scotia&#8217;s digital team.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"reportIssue-MwDQL\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/corrections-clarifications-1.5893564\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corrections and clarifications<\/a>\u00b7<a class=\"reportIssue-MwDQL\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/email-cbc-contact-phone-tips-news-story-1.6466536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submit a news tip<\/a>\u00b7Report error<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nova Scotia Nova Scotia Power activated its emergency centre earlier on Friday to coordinate outage restorations and response.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":459267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-459266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115750004713204629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
