Acadian Peninsula storm investigation

Environment Canada sent a meteorologist to the Acadian Peninsula to see if tornados may have formed during a recent “severe” thunderstorm this past Thursday.

NB Power said nearly 7,000 customers in the Acadian Peninsula were without power following the storm, which damaged power poles and properties.

In areas where power poles were snapped in half, Environment Canada is estimating gusts of 195 km/h and in areas where shingles were ripped off buildings winds were around 165 km/h.

More terror in Britain

British authorities are treating an explosion at Manchester Arena as an act of terrorism, according to The Canadian Press.

The blast following a concert by American pop star Ariana Grande left a number of people dead and dozens more injured.

British Prime Minister Theresa May says the government is trying to establish the full details of the incident, and an emergency Cabinet meeting has been scheduled for this morning.

If confirmed to be a terrorist attack, it would be the largest in Britain since the July 7th, 2005 Islamic attack in London.
