No just our Maritimes provinces are having Fiona the hurricane. I have about 25 relatives in Nova Scotia , on both sides of my Dad's family. He was born in Halifax. My grandfather was one of 4 brothers who lived in Anherst NS. When I was there 7 years ago , one cousin had a tree that fell and blocked their front door. Another cousin lost several trees like a bowling ball taking down pins.
We had big winds Thursday and Friday.
Thanks for asking.
