Power around the Maritimes was largely restored late Monday afternoon, after more stormy weather overnight Sunday.

In Nova Scotia, more than 8,000 homes and businesses were without power early Monday morning as strong winds and heavy rain blasted large areas of the mainland.

But, as of 5 p.m. AT, only 109 customers in Shelburne County were without power. It was expected to be restored by 8 p.m.

A wind warning was lifted around 5 p.m. AT for the area from Digby to Halifax counties. Environment Canada had predicted gusts of up to 110 km/h. Up to 15 millimetres of rain was expected in some areas, as well as storm surges along the South Shore.

Flooding continues to be a worry.

On Saturday, a family of five had to be evacuated from their home in the Bridgewater area after Williams Lake overflowed.
