The heavy storm arrived here yesterday and last night, mixed in with
another storm and although it has brought much needed rain for filling
wells (apparently record amounts in one go) many people, including my
son, are without power and lots of trees are down - my grandson lost a
beautiful old apple tree - we were sitting under it for shade a few
weekends ago, but it's gone now. Took part of the garage with it.

Maximum damage has been done up in Cape Breton, all schools closed
today.
