Ghaladan Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We were hit hard by Juan last night and EVERYTHING is closed today. Schools, businesses... 2 people died.. A tree landed on an ambulance carrying a patient.. and another tree fell on a van. 300,000 houses in our city lost power (including mine. My power is back on now, but 100,000 still have no power at the time of my post). I just hope no one else was hurt, 'twas a pretty scary storm. Here are some links if you wanna read 'em. http://www.region.halifax.ns.ca/mediaroom/pressrelease/pr2003/030928hurricane3.html http://gfx.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/satellite/animateweb_e.html?imagetype=satellite&imagename=goes_ecan_1070_m_..................jpg&nbimages=1&clf=1 The second link is a series of satellite images.

gvargas Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I heard about Isabel, but not Juan. :( Hope everything's okay. I never knew they went all the way up there to Canada! I was in Miami when hurricane Andrew and I know how much damage that can cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaladan Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeah... Juan was right after Isabel (J coming right after I in the alphabet). Many trees fell and many-a windows are smased in my city. I saw on the news another one is coming toward us too :( Hurricane Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
