Hundreds of thousands of Canadians on the country’s east are without power after ex-hurricane Fiona battered the Atlantic coast with torrential rain and strong winds. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has called off today’s trip to Japan for former PM Shinzo Abe’s state funeral to oversee the response. Fiona has been a real pain in the neck after trashing Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic last week. In Florida, a state of emergency has been declared as tropical storm Ian gathers strength and is set to make landfall this week. Meanwhile, super typhoon Noru has hit the Philippines, forcing thousands of people to evacuate. Gusts of up to 240km/hr are expected, and there are concerns about landslides, flash flooding and storm surges. And at home, officials in NSW are warning families travelling for school holidays to keep up with emergency updates and road closures as a cold front and more flooding is predicted from today.
