Parts of Nova Scotia are dealing with deteriorating cell service as post-tropical storm Lee blows through the region.
Bell, a major cellular service provider, confirmed in an email it is seeing some "wireless congestion" in areas where there are widespread power outages.
"Our crews are deploying generators where required and safe to do so," a spokesperson for the company said. "When the storm passes we will have a better sense of impacts and will keep our customers updated via social media."
In an update with reporters on Saturday, Erica Fleck, director of emergency management for Halifax, said the municipality is aware of an outage in the Dartmouth area.
"The service providers are working with the province and feeding us information and we don't have any updates on the restoration time as of yet," Fleck said.
Cell service outages were a widespread problem during post-tropical storm Fiona last year.
Ahead of Lee's arrival, representatives for Bell and Eastlink, another cell provider, said they had both strengthened their systems since Fiona.
