Another thank you to mabymack for you service.
We were in Nova Scotia when Hurricane Earl was headed toward the Canadian Maritimes. Knowing the only way to PEI, our last destination before returning home, was either by ferry or over an 8 mile bridge we decided to leave the relative safety of Baddeck and head into the storm's path. Our decision was made by fact we had only a few days to visit PEI and if we lost a day or two getting over because of the storm we would just have to skip our visit. So we hopped the ferry the day before the storm was to hit and settled into a campground in the middle of the island.
The next morning the electricity in the campground went out before the storm hit. This was not a good omen. As the winds and rains picked up, we sat in our trailer hoping it was sturdy enough to hold up. In the height of the storm the electricity came back on and not long after the wind and rain died down. The wind on the back side of the storm was stronger than earlier, but even with a lot of shaking the trailer held up will and by nightfall all was calm and the next day was beautiful for sightseeing.
Not sure our move was the smartest, but it ended well in the long run.
