Hurricane Dorian has battered parts of Canada's Atlantic coast and Nova Scotia with heavy rain and powerful winds.
Powerful winds toppled a construction crane in Halifax and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of people.
While a roof was also ripped off an apartment complex in the city and a number of homes were evacuated.
Weather officials said Dorian is "bringing hurricane-force wind gusts to a large portion of Atlantic Canada", with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph.
The top sustained winds are occurring mainly over water, bringing tropical storm and hurricane conditions to portions of Nova Scotia, though experts predict the post-tropical cyclone will likely "drop below hurricane strength" on Sunday.
The fallout continues as officials in North Carolina said a second death in the state has been attributed to Hurricane Dorian.
State Emergency Response Team spokeswoman Diana Kees said in an email on Saturday afternoon that a 67-year-old man died Friday in Pamlico County after collapsing at his home while cleaning storm debris.
At least five deaths in the Southeast have been blamed on Dorian, with the others being men in Florida or North Carolina who died in falls or by electrocution while trimming trees, putting up storm shutters or otherwise getting ready for the hurricane.
While at least 43 people have been killed in the Bahamas, where many more remain missing as search and rescue efforts continue.
Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said 35 people died on Abaco and eight on Grand Bahama island.
Teams were still trying to reach some Bahamian communities isolated by floodwaters and debris after the disaster.
The US Coast Guard said it has rescued a total of 290 people in the northern Bahamas following the hurricane.
Six MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters and nine cutters are helping in the aid effort, the Coast Guard said.
The United Nations said eight tons of food supplies were on the way by ship and some 14,700 ready-to-eat meals as well as logistical and telecommunications equipment are being delivered, said Herve Verhoosel, spokesman for the UN World Food Program.
