[Alberg30] Boat Pics After Hurricane In Halifax

[bob]

Hi All,

Due to very high water levels,  (some boats floated over bridges, seawalls,
front yard fences etc) and winds up to 180 Km/Hr, it did a lot of damage
even in sheltered areas.
Boats on the hard even blew over on their sides. Homes and buildings had
their widows blown out.
One couple on the Halifax Northwest Arm woke up with 8 boats in their front
yard.

Never seen anything like it before.

Fortunately for me, a double bridle, half-inch galvanized chain and a
1.5-ton cement block buried in the mud held my boat during the storm.

Bob
A30 #560

What a mess!  I don't know the geography.  Is there a lot of fetch
in this harbor?

How high was the storm surge?  How high were the winds?
