Just to underline how unusual an event Fiona was, Port-aux-Basques was established 400 years ago -- by Basque fishermen, as you might have guess from the name -- and has been inhabited continually since then. It is on the southernmost tip of Newfoundland, pretty well surrounded by the open Atlantic ocean, so they are used to storms, but nothing in that 400 year history suggested that the dozens of home washed into the sea would be in jeopardy.

I've just been listening to coverage, and yes, crops, including apples, were destroyed all over Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The army has now been brought in to help on PEI, where 90% of the island is still without power. And they are checking to see the damage on the Iles de la Madelaines (Magdalen Islands), sandy islands north pf PEI in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to see how much of the islands' infrastructure has been washed away.
