BLR AFTER THE HURRICANE

Well everthing went fine at my apartment, Halifax itself received major damage over 100,000 home without power and lots of damage to trees, some homes. The hurricaine lasted about six hours. We were on the back side of the building and didn't get the direct force of the winds. It ended up that I didn't have to take up my track from the padio after all. It was amazing for just after the storm went through it was calm and warm just like any other summer day hard to believe a hurricane had just gone by two hours before. Mother Nature is sure something else.

BLR HURRICANE COMING

Well here it is Thursday Sept 2nd and we are expecting Hurricane EARL early Saturday morning. Tomorrow I will have to take up the track on the patio, so that the high winds don't blow it off and send it flying down to the street 5 stories below. Can you imagion somebody walking along and seeing a 5 foot long section of track flying by, let alone hit them. Better to be safe then sorry. Not much happening, got to run my F7's and my SD70MAC for a few weeks this summer, we have been very busy and haven't had to much time for running trains. Well lets hope that we survive this Hurricane with very little damage. Temperatures all week have been in the high 30 degree celsius range with the humidex in the 40's.


Take Care Gary
