Monday Morning after Hurricane Kyle







Here are some pictures of the Atlantic. the green house is where we are staying.


The hurricane was pretty much blown out by the time it reached us. It definitely was not hurricane strength, probably some gusts between 30-40mph. Our lights flickered on and off a few times but that was all. We had a short shower about 3:30 that lasted for awhile and may have dropped a few inches of rain. The yellow house discovered that they had a leak. Other than that it was mostly a wind event. The house shook with the heavier gusts and we could here the wind howling outside for quite a while.
Chantil and I got up at sunrise to take a look at the Atlantic. Supposedly they were saying that there would be 16 foot seas at high tide around 1 AM. They might have had some big waves but we did not see any signs that the high tide was any higher than normal.
We are headed out this morning after breakfast to Cook's lake to set some more traps.

Hi everyone,
The green house is very nice and old! Yes, Halifax can get hurricanes but the one yesterday was very mild. Nothing like what we are use to. This morning I saw 2 deer real close to the house on the road to the beach.
I have not tried any of the ceral, I have been eating oatmeal everyday.
love, mrs. smith
