Power lines have been downed and houses washed into the sea after Storm Fiona battered Canada’s coastline.

One woman is missing after being washed out to sea in Newfoundland.

Fiona was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm on Friday. Such weather events are rare in Canada, and police said the storm was “like nothing we’ve ever seen”.

The military has been deployed to Nova Scotia to help with the clean-up operation.
