Post-tropical storm Dorian left more than 80,000 homes and businesses in New Brunswick without power at its peak on Saturday evening.
Marc Belliveau, a spokesperson for NB Power, said that came as no surprise to the utility.
“If you look at all of the outages on our maps, you’ll see that most of the southern part of the province and right into Nova Scotia are the areas that were hit the hardest,” said Belliveau.
“It was very close to what we had actually been predicting in our meetings and in our own modelling.”
Belliveau said Dorian had a 200-kilometre track and it kept changing directions as it was moving up the East Coast.
He believes the storm could have ended up being much worse for New Brunswick.
