It is December 21, 2010. The gale winds were over 100km/hr today. The bridge is closed again -The Confederation Bridge. This is the only way off the island by land. The ferries aren't running either. It is kind of a funny feeling to know the only way off would be by air! Colleen and I went out to do some serious Christmas shopping. We went to the mall, no nostalgia this day. It was find, buy and blow to the next store! I seriously thought the door would break off the van. I am listening to the wind and rain as I write this.Wind - hmmm, I do believe the word gale says it all! It is wild out there. I wonder how many roofs will be topless tomorrow.
The good news is that the grass is still green and the temp is chilly, not cold!
Oh dear, the lights went out and are now flickering. It is time to say so long for today.
Cheers from Donna
We were thinking about you yesterday and wondering how severe the storm was...and then we saw downed trees toppling vehicles in Charlottetown and knew it was rough. I thought it was nice you were shopping with Colleen but could you keep up to her??
