We are right in the middle. The dark blue. Only 2 miles from the coast. There saying possible cat 4
We made out ok. 4” of rain and lots of wind. But we didn’t loose power. Lots did. Cape Breton is getting hit hard. And Newfoundland. But my brother in Margaree said they have had a lot worse storms. I think most of CB is in the dark.
Lots of leaves down around here.
Stuck to everything.

At least we have some cooler water to knock it down a bit, but it still gave a good hit around my camp in Cape Breton.

Glad you came out OK Caper. Sounds like a little camp and trail clean-up will be in order. Is your camp a hunting or fishing camp or n maybe both? Hope you find it intact and un damaged.

Good to hear you and your family are good @Caper.
Let's hope that everyone else in the path of the storm does just as well.

Prayers answered, you guys are all right! The radar looked like it just missed a little to the east.
Nova Scotia made local news here in Arkansas.
Camp came out great. A lot of places in Cape Breton didn’t. My little tarp garage for the bike when I take it down , has saw better days. But it’s still there. Haha
My dad bought it as a hunting camp after it closed as a one room schoolhouse in 64. We renovated it in 89. We still hunt but it’s mostly a cottage now. It was built in 1870 so it’s seen it’s share of crappy weather.
Most of Cape Breton are still without power, and probably will be for a few days. Camp never lost power. We made out good here too. Didn’t loose power even though a lot of neighbors are still in the dark.
Haha This is the camp from today. My neighbor went and checked on it.

My buddy has a big beautiful home in River John. Just across from PEI in Nova Scotia. His house is at least 100’ off the water with a big slope down to the water that he had Armor stone, bigger than my truck placed on the slope to prevent erosion. The waves broke windows out and the wind tore off a big section of roof and his back deck is gone. He lives in Calgary. And this is a cottage. Probably 2 million. All 3” pine grove and tongue floors and ceiling, the ceiling is the floor upstairs. Now they will be screwed.
But his place isn’t the only one. I guess were lucky with the camp.

Cape Breton and PEI got hit hard. And along the Northumberland straight. And Newfoundland. A lot of people are hurting tonight. Yup I’m going to the camp next weekend so I’ll see what’s up.

I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of trail clearing.

The only woods are on his property along the river. He has 250 acres of alfalfa. Almost not fair,
