Make sure everything outside is secured!!!! That's what causes the most injuries, flying debris! Get our your candles, oil lamps, flashlights, etc...

Thank the lord the worst is passed. we never lost any elec. just the cable, no biggy. Nova Scotia and new Brunswick got the worse where i live this town has its own power supply. But th rest of the island doesnt' their Martime Elec and they share with N.B.
So over 10, 000 dont have power.
