23 years ago tonight Hurricane Juan moved into Halifax late in the evening.
I remember watching Steve Murphy and Peter Coade on TV until we lost power around 11:30pm in Timberlea, it didn’t come back for a week.
We lost a few trees in our backyard.
Above the backyard swings.
I also recall seeing plastic Sobeys bags tied to downed power lines on Jubliee Road heading into work and seeing huge trees on Connaught awvenue chopped in pieces like tooth picks.
A lot of us had no cash on hand with the power outages, and many recall the devastation in Point Pleasant Park with hundreds of trees destroyed.
Our neighbours lost a part of their fence.

Hard to believe that was 23 years ago.
