Oh Sylvia what a worry for them and you. Here's hoping it will pass over them with little damage and they will be safe.

They sound well prepared so hopefully they will be ok. <3

It sounds as if they have done everything possible to prepare for any effects of the storm.
I do hope all will be well for that area at this worrying time.

Daughter and family live in Nova Scotia, and will be feeling the effects of Hurricane Fiona tonight ........... the eye of what is expected to be a category 2 hurricane will pass over the Cape Breton area of Nova Scotia, but all parts will be affected by the outer edges of the hurricane experiencing extreme winds, between 120-150 kph..

They had been experiencing very heavy rain from early Friday morning, the extreme outer edges of the hurricane.

It will blow through the eastern coast of New Brunswick, hit PEI and then swing over past Newfoundland.

It is likely to be the worst storm to hit so far north in recorded memory.

Daughter and family are hunkered down, everything that could be moved from outside has been removed or tied down very tightly, fridge and freezers wrapped in blankets and other covers to keep as cold as possible, supplies enough for 3 days, candles etc for light. They were expecting the power to go off by early evening there. Cell towers have been blown down in previous big storms, and of course land lines could also be out.

Luckily it isn't too cold, so they should be warm enough
