The hangover continues


Even though post-tropical storm Noel has moved on to Northern Newfoundland and Labrador the effects still linger on. People who suffered extreme damage when Juan came through a few years ago were cleaning up again. Chimneys, decks, roofs, and windshields were smashed by debris and falling trees. Computer systems and electronic devices were knocked out and, in some cases, took most of the day today to get back to normal. People everywhere were discussing the impact of the storm, and some still did not have power as of this morning at 7:00 am (we consider ourselves lucky in that regard). This is an annual event, and though most of the country waits for winter to hit the atlantic provinces have this to look forward to every November. While it was a potentially dramatic, or even traumatic event it turned out to be another example of the resiliency of the everyone involved.
