Hurricane Bill

Hurricane Bill travelled about 75 km off the southern coast of Nova Scotia. By the time it reached our province, it was a category 1 hurricane, which is substantial enough, but less than the weather forecasters had predicted. Thankfully, it was offshore. That meant that our villages and towns on that side of the province experienced high waves, and strong winds. There was some destruction, of course, but it was minimal. There was some foolishness too, with young persons playing in the waves, but they were regularly warned and monitored by the Mounties. On our side of the province, in our sheltered Annapolis Basin, we had medium winds and steady but gentle rain only. This is defniitely the biggest benefit we derive from living in Smith’s Cove. We can see the weather out in the Bay of Fundy, but it rarely decides to take a detour into the Basin. We stayed inside, of course, and I used my funny little camera to capture a few moments of the storm, from the front window, and from the back door.
