Oh yeah, on the topic of weather here... this is 50cm of snow, 100KM/hr winds last winter. City was back and running the day after. We handle this stuff like pros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppiSaYJf22k (they're saying 110km/hr gusts on the news for the hurricane, that's not THAT much more!) This guy's channel has TONS of videos (some are of accidents, be warned) of my city. He's been on disability since an accident himself since 06, and this is what he does now, freelance. He's often there before any other media. He used to drive a taxi around the city, so he knows the short cuts well. I actually met him the other day, and he took me driving for 4 hours to get pictures of the fall colors. VERY nice guy, funny as heck. A lot of attention has been on him recently for his 'work' that he puts up on Youtube. He's got television companies approaching him for his videos. I don't even watch the news, I watch for videos on this guy's channel now

YACK!!
I just remembered that the generator is still at the island! What time does it get dark around here now, Yabbit? I may have to do a run over! LMFAO! We don't have any wind and rain won't kill me, but the fog is rolling in... ahhh...the heck with it. We already cleaned up the yard when we were supposed to have the last big blow a few weeks ago. Unless the track changes, we will be fine. Yabbit, however, looks like she may be a leetle bit closer to the track - if it stays on the projected track. If it veers just a leetle bit left - it's me. Yabbit is only 40 or so miles from me. That's how close the line is! Ms Laura up there in N.B. is off to the left of the track too...350+ miles northeast of us...and maybe closer to the actual storm track than either of us in Maine! That's my report!

I had to laugh at the grocery store here.
The aisle with the candles was pretty much vacant, so I grabbed a couple of those nice ones in jars (I'm a paranoid FREAK with fire). Meanwhile... the junk food aisle and the aisle where you buy stuff for mixing alcoholic beverages were PACKED. That's Canada! LMAO!

Since I've lived here, I was in Halifax during 1 hurricane (downed trees on Barrington, eeeeeeeshhhh!!!) and I was around for the big hurricane a few years ago (but not in Hali, in Moncton).
This is my first in MY city.

Rofl at the aisles in the store, Yabbit!
We are set here too. No need to run out and get anything. I was actually living on the island during Gloria (the hurricane we had back in 1985). My mother made me come home and stay with her. We sat at the kitchen table drinking homemade wine and watched one of our huge blue spruces go down...it took three gusts and it was gone. We tried to stand it up the next day by pulling with a chain and the boat, but she wouldn't stand...ahh the memories! Here's my addition to Laura's map!
