It was all I could to to stand up straight and keep my lens clean. Kinda frightening, actually.
While I was taking pictures, Elaine rescued a woman who was clinging fearfully to a telephone pole. She drove up beside her and opened the car door. The woman got in and Elaine drove her home.
I sent these photos up to the local tv station and they used them in the news (yes, thats TWICE this month!) If you would like to hear more about the storm, you can watch the news. Just go to www.chbcnews.ca and look for the articles on Windstorm. The aftermath is... amazing.
This storm only lasted about an hour...
I can't believe these people were in their boat in this storm...
not only that, though the child has a life jacket on, Mom and the guys don't.
Thats just PLAIN SILLINESS folks!
