Mother Nature , the power the destruction, but we are good
I have been off SMF since before the storm hit with working so much and trying to just catch up with things , than putting everything away because of the storm coming, Thank god I did
Because it was a wild ride Friday night and most of Saturday. The storm travel speed slowed down when it hit our region and spread out wider than expected. So here in Halifax area we received more than we thought . Record rain fall was in our area with 192mm was near here and the winds were record winds in the province also.
The damage from/to the trees were because trees were in full leaf still, here are just a couple pics from around the province.
These are just a few pictures from around the province . over 2/3rds of the province was hit real bad.
It was a real show of mother nature's power for sure. So many people lost so much and have to rebuild, as all the Atlantic provinces took a big hit from this storm
Other Provinces and also Maine power Corps have sent in there folks to help with the work to help repower us, Thank you everyone
And they have called in the Military to help with the clean up of all the destruction.
Our hearts go out to those that lost so much, it is hard to think of what could have been for us when I look at all the news shows of this storm
We ( Mona and I ) came through it with just minor damage this time, but maybe no power until the end of the week, fingers crossed .
Trees down on either side of our driveway on the road took down the power lines . Could not leave the road until Sunday. Wires are still on the road and the trees are cut enough to drive the truck by .
But as I said for us it was just fixable things that i can get to. Couple roof shingles , already fixed them , helped my buddy across the street fix his roof lost 4 top rows of shingles on his house .
Lots of the broken tree tops from our winter ice storm came down and just hit minor things , but yard is full of waste and the house and garage look like someone covered them with confetti from the leaves in the trees being ripped apart and spun everywhere.
At least we have a good generator and the fridges and freezers are working good .
Thank you for reading
