Burr Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I’ve been told by a family friend with property on Prince Edward Island that the entire island has no power. Their barn, which has been on the property for ~140 years: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Mainiac Posted September 24, 2022 Admin Share Posted September 24, 2022 Guessing this 52mph gust recorded by NWS Caribou is what cost me a tree. While we do see winds like this in the winter, not with full leaves. My fine poplar friend. I remember when you were but a wee sapling thirty odd years ago. RIP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poplars are nice. Any other damage? Hope nothing hit the house or cars or horse and buggy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is low land there and with the storm there early this morning at high tide, doesn't stand a chance. Fiona was a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope nothing hit the house or cars or horse and buggy. Thankfully fell away from the house although it murdered a 3 year old kieffer pear tree - falling straight on to it. To be fair, I'm really on the northern extent of the kieffer range and it wasn't looking too healthy. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tater Posted October 2, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2022 Somehow this just feels worse than something similar along the Gulf Coast or a tropical island where you expect this sort of thing and build accordingly. I know where I live couldn't handle it. The June 2012 derecho with 60-80 mph winds left many in our area without power for a week or more and damaged many buildings. Stronger winds of longer duration would be absolutely devastating, as structures are not designed to withstand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
