Charlottetown police are asking residents to stay off the roads and shelter in place a full day after Hurricane Fiona ravaged P.E.I., leaving the vast majority of the Island’s residents still without power or heat on Sunday morning.

Hurricane Fiona hit P.E.I. in the early morning hours of Saturday, with heavy rain and winds over 170 km/h. There have been reports of widespread damage to property, but no serious injuries to people.

Conditions across the Island remained unsafe through the day Saturday as the province was hit with high winds and rain, making it difficult to assess damage — much less begin the long task of restoring infrastructure.
