| We (at Chester) didn't get hit that hard but Halifax is a disaster zone. They were at a state of emergency until tuesday. The waterfront is destroyed. Public Gardens has most trees destroyed. Quite a mess. Our golf course lost about 100 trees but I have been talking to other supers and know of atleast two that lost 3000+ trees. Sailboats ended up in peoples homes. I drove around a small boat in the middle of the road. Pretty wild. |

| The in-laws still don't have power, and are gorging themselves on BBQ deer now that the freezer is starting to thaw. One of their neighbours up the street is running a generator and stringing extension cords so people can plug in their fridges. Bizarre! |

Good link. For as massive as some of those trees are they have puny root balls.
Hopefully the clean up will go quickly for all of you. |

Wow what a mess! I had wondered how you all were doing considering the hurricane.
Lot of clean up work.... |

| The inlaws just got power yesterday, almost a week later. At least there'll be plenty of cheap hardwood firewood in the city this winter. |
