thanksgiving storm 2016

whoa! what a storm! 225mm of rain in 2 days, 110km wind gusts and 39,000 people on the island without power!

here is strachan's brook a few days ago...


and after all the rain:


we lost our power on monday night and got it back this afternoon at 4:30. we also lost the phone yesterday afternoon but got it, and our internet back this afternoon. there are still people without power/phone but the good folks at nova scotia power are working around the clock.

and it pays to be prepared kids!!!

  1. Glad you survived. It always pays to be prepared. So many people where I live are not and after the hurricane, the damage, and loss of grid power, they still don't get it! I can't imagine what kind of animals the neighbors would turn into if they couldn't buy food for a few weeks.

  5. Do you have much off grid power? It's something I need to work on here we have very little. But then we have a wood stove and candles so it a could be romantic (minus the three kids though).
