Hurricane / Tropical Storm

Fredericton is at times affected by hurricanes after they’ve become tropical storms or post-tropical storms. Post-tropical storm Arthur caused wide-ranging damage in the city in July 2014.

High winds can result in in downed power lines. If you see a downed power line, STAY AWAY. For your safety, always stay at least 10 metres away from them and anything that they touch (trees, puddles, vehicles, etc.).  Follow these tips from NB Power when you see a downed power line.
