FOG BLOG LEE UPDATE LOG:

EVEN THOUGH WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO THE CENTRE OF THE HURRICANE, 'LEE' QUICKLY DOWNGRADED TO POST TROPICAL BUT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE! HERE IN NB THERE WERE 20000 WITHOUT POWER AND 100,000 WITHOUT AT ONE POINT THROUGHOUT THE MARITIMES BUT POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED TO MANY , STILL THERE ARE MANY WITHOUT AND WILL TAKE DAYS TO RESTORE. IN NOVA SCOTIA , DOWN BY YARMOUTH WIND GUSTS WERE CLOCKED AT 13O km/h SAME AS GRAND MANAN. RAIN AMOUNTS WERE HIGHER HERE IN NEW BRUNSWICK WITH AMOUNTS OF OVER 60 mm RECORDED HERE IN SAINT JOHN. PICTURED HERE BY ME IS SOME OF THE CARNAGE FROM LEE IN THE FUNDY HEIGHTS AREA. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AS LEE MADE LANDFALL DURING LOW TIDE. THE STORM SURGE IN NOVA SCOTIA JUST TO THE EAST OF SHELBURNE CO. AND PEGGY'S COVE WAS 15 m. WE WERE LUCKIER BY THE FUNDY SHORES IN NB AS NS TOOK THE BRUNT. AS LEE DEPARTS , WARM SUNNY SKIES BROKE OUT ACROSS THE REGION AS POWER GETS RESTORED TO THE REST OF THE MARITIMES AND THE CLEANUP BEGINS!
