10 DAYS AFTER FIONA, THOUSANDS REMAIN WITHOUT POWER

Residents of Prince Edward Island say they're growing exhausted, anxious and cold as thousands remain without power 10 days after post-tropical storm Fiona swept through the region. Kylee Graham, who hasn't had power at her Charlottetown apartment since 1 a.m. on Sept. 24., says life is increasingly difficult. The 26-year-old is also a volunteer with the Charlottetown Mutual Aid, and says she is encountering seniors and homeless people whose situation is worse than her own. Wanda Arnold, a 70-year-old resident of Huntingdon Court seniors complex in Charlottetown, says she and other residents have been given blankets, but at night they're shivering in the dark without heat or power. Graham and Arnold say they believe the response by Maritime Electric hasn't been adequate.
