This is the kind of propaganda that @csiscanada needs to stop as they defame concerned citizens calling for climate action in National news. Disband or change CSIS please. They were useless to stop Truck convoy. @JustinTrudeau @ElizabethMay @theJagmeetSingh @PierrePoilievre
This article states they are concerned about “increase in ideologically motivated violent extremism from people who want to speed up climate change solutions”. 🙄 That is nonsense & defamatory to concerned citizens who’s lives are literally at risk. @CTVNews #hurricaneFiona 
There were secret meetings sponsored by Enbridge, Brookfield and Bruce Power where government officials, the RCMP, CSIS along with oil and gas reps met up in secret meetings. The last day of the meetings took on May 23rd 2013. vancouverobserver.com/world/canada/h…

#HurricaneFiona Update: Significant progress that has been made in restoring power to the people of Puerto Rico.
As of October 1, power has been restored to 90% of customers.
This is an important milestone, coming just 13 days after Fiona made landfall. (1/) #thread

Five years after the devastation of Hurricane Maria, this achievement is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Puerto Rican people. (2/)
A heartfelt thank you to all of the responders and crews who continue to work day and night to support #HurricaneFiona restoration efforts and help those impacted by the storm. (3/)
Today was the first day I took some time to wander around #PortauxBasques #Newfoundland after #HurricaneFiona and it really hurt. I’m not talking about my feet or my back. I mean my emotional and mental state.
Went to J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park first. There was a couple honeymooning in their little red hatchback with a quiet, pure white husky tethered to a zip line. They were easily 200 - 300 feet inland from where the parking lot used to be.
There used to be a sand dune between the parking lot and the ocean. You’d climb from the lot, cross the ATV trail and get to the beach. Old railroad tiles - cause Newfoundland used to have trains - were visible to the right, just a foot or two poking out of the sand. Now?
Just a guess, but I reckon with the amphibious Littoral Response Group (North) in the Mediterranean on Op #Achillean, @HMSTrent & her @42_commando @RoyalMarines team will probably be heading for the Gulf of Guinea for a bit of anti-piracy work?
While, of course, on the other side of the World, the @RoyalNavy's @OverseasPatrol remains busy, with @HMS_Tamar recently enforcing sanctions off Korea.
Plus @HMS_Spey taking part in Exercise Kakadu off northern Australia

The mayor and council of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality have declared a state of local emergency, as post-tropical storm Fiona has knocked out power to thousands, roads are closed by fallen trees and buildings are damaged. cbc.ca/1.6594429
Tens of thousands of Maritime Electric customers are without power in P.E.I. as Fiona continues to pound Atlantic Canada, with wind gusts on the Island hitting 150 km/h and almost 100 mm of rain down. cbc.ca/1.6593762

The Canadian Hurricane Centre says Hurricane Fiona will make landfall in eastern Nova Scotia as a powerful post-tropical storm early Saturday. Forecasters warn its effects will be felt across a swath of eastern Canada. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
Hurricane Fiona is expected to be bigger than Hurricane Juan, the 2003 storm that pummeled Nova Scotia.
"It is certainly going to be a historic, extreme event for Atlantic Canada," said meteorologist Bob Robichaud. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

While New Brunswick will take a break from the rain on Friday, most of Nova Scotia and P.E.I. will see periods of rain as a cold front stalls across the eastern Maritimes. #HurricaneFiona

Anomaly fields are invaluable for determining various events like extratropical transition.
The 500-hPa temperature anomaly (vs. climatology) shows the trough and Fiona, but it's not a merger. More like a capture.

The warm-core sticks around until the bitter end.

The tropical warm-core will survive, remain coherent, up until it doesn't, then it blinks/poofs as midlatitude air wipes it out.

My administration has been monitoring #HurricaneFiona and working to provide necessary support and resources.
I know many New Yorkers are worried about loved ones in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, so I wanted to share an update on the latest:

In any crisis, New York takes action. Our response to Fiona is no different.
Our first group of @nyspolice responders are ready to be deployed to Puerto Rico immediately.
I am in close communication with @GovPierluisi and @luisabinader to respond to their needs.

Over 1 million people in Puerto Rico are without power after Hurricane Fiona caused "catastrophic" damage and landslides.
The power grid is still recovering from 2017's Hurricane Maria and may not be fixed for "several days."
Almost 200,000 people have no access to clean water.

3,000+ homes in #PuertoRico still have blue tarps instead of roofs after 2017's Hurricane Maria.
The U.S. only gave the U.S. territory 2/3 of what it needed for repairs — after delays by Trump.
Most still hasn't reached communities, and some say they "have to start over again."

Up to 90% of homes in Puerto Rico are now reportedly without power after #HurricaneFiona.
The island of over 3 million U.S. citizens is still rebuilding 5 years after Hurricane Maria:
▪️ Only 21% of recovery work complete
▪️ Some forced to repair homes themselves after no help
