It looks like Bill is still a level 1 hurricane as it hits Newfoundland.
That's not a *terrible* storm but still pretty destructive. Are you
holed up or out looking at it all?

Ohai! Yes, we did fine. I had everything bungy corded, so nothing moved.
We're so used to high winds that the infrastructure held up well to the
90 kph gusts. My power didn't even flicker! Best of all...the wind
shredded a wasps nest that's sitting under an eave on the end of my
house...now I just have to finish the job. LOL

Of course, the most interesting part is that a cat 1 survived long
enough to touch the island. Shades of storms to come...

:]
Glad to heat that you survived OK, although I know Newfoundlanders tend
to be a hardy lot who help each other out. 90 kph winds are survivable
with a little care. Good going with the wasps!

Heh! We don't minds the wind, b'y.

And I just noticed Danny has formed in the Atlantic...but early
estimates have Nova Scotia likely to see more of it....though we'd like
to see some rain from it. Been a really dry summer.

:]

I saw that Danny was headed up your way. More excitement! I also
figured Bill wouldn't be *too* much of a wind for you - you're too
experienced with that sort of thing.

Is there Newfoundlander word for hurricane? I have the Dictionary of
Newfoundland English, but it only goes from Newfoundland to English, not
the other way around.


TS Danny is the brunt of a lot of jokes up here right now...given that
everyone calls Premier Williams by his first name....Danny. LOL.

I don't think we have a different word for hurricane. I've heard many
say there's a good blow on the way...but that is any wind. (And we say
it with a smile).
