Nasty Storm

Today, a really nasty rainstorm blew through here. It started through the night and continued into today...all day. Lots of rain and high winds, coupled with an unusually high tide at 6am this morning, all that water had nowhere to go but inland. Here are some photos of the force of Mother Nature.

These are of the Save Easy parking lot in Mahone Bay. Almost half is under water from the harbour.



There a lot of flooded properties.



The park next to the harbour is totally under water.


These were taken at the marina/gov't wharf. Most of the parking lot and the floating dock are flooded.



These are showing the water is level with the main wharf. The water is coming over the sides.



There are photos here of how Mahone Bay looks on a sunny day - quite a difference!

This parking lot is at the other end of town.

The water normally wouldn't be past the bushes.

The road flooding. Do you see the No Parking sign? lol!



 This road that is parallel to the Martins River was badly flooded.


These final photos are from the Western Shore area. Lots of waves crashing onto the rocks.





A wharf almost underwater.


The immense power of the ocean spewing rocks and debris onto the highway.
