Hurricane Juan slams into N.S.
Last Updated Mon, 29 Sep 2003 0:48:32
HALIFAX - A four-storey apartment building collapsed in Darmouth, N.S. early Monday as Hurricane Juan smashed into Nova Scotia's most densely populated area.

It was not clear if anyone was injured or trapped under the rubble.

Parts of Darmouth and neighbouring Halifax lost power as the Category 1 storm, with winds of up to 130 km/h, hit just before midnight local time.

Hundreds of people living in low-lying areas around Nova Scotia's capital city moved to higher ground late Sunday, as the hurricane swirled ashore.

Halifax's mayor declared a state of emergency at 9 p.m. so that officials could force people to leave residences if needed.
