The work continues to get the lights back for those who remain without power two weeks after Fiona.

Nova Scotia Power says there are about 2,600 customers still without electricity with most located in the northeast region.

Larger pockets of outages persist in the New Glasgow, Stellarton, Pictou, and Trenton areas.

Of the remaining customers impacted by Hurricane Fiona, 93% of them are in northeast NS. We continue to move more crews around that region as they complete work in other areas. #NSStorm pic.twitter.com/FTxiPdtm2G
