I'm from Halifax N.S. and we ended up having a hurricane a few years back nowWe didn't think much of it because in the 24 years I have lived here, we have never had one. The devastation was ridiculous! I got stuck about 5 hours away from here so I didn't experience it but when we were actually able to safely go back home, about 2 hours outside of Halifax, we started seeing some damage.
A lot of places here didn't have power for upwards of 3-4 weeks.
The hurricane was called Hurricane Juan. If you google it in the images, adding Halifax N.S. too it you can see pictures.
Good luck!
