Yes J L, we do have power, we were lucky here in summerside, not all but a lot of us got power after 1 to 2 days. There are still a lot of people that are without power today.
Thank you so much for posting this . I'm also in S.side. so much damage to our beautiful Island but yet we are so very great full all at the same time. It was a horrible night.
My husband and I spent two weeks just west of North Rustico Harbour and left early when we saw the storm coming. We kayaked the Stanley Bridge area and through the oyster farms at North Rustico. Stayed in a house on the bluff overlooking the lagoon and beach. Have seen some videos of the damage in those areas. 😢
Thanks for the awesome footage. My family was in Summerside for multiple generations. I remember the kid traveling back every year from Denver. Heartbreaking to see the old area like that. Great grandma lived behind the City Hall building on Spring Street. My heart goes out to everyone on the island!
I live in New London and there was lots of damage around us. We fared out very well on our property, lost a few shingles and a couple of branches. I slept through the night despite the upstairs vibrating from the winds. So glad that my family and friends here on the Island and in Nova Scotia made it through the storm with no major damage.
Thank you boys so are we. We hope within a few weeks things look much better. However the Coastline will forever be changed. There’s so much destruction it’s hard to believe. So many trees down so much erosion from the island, just some thing we now have to deal with.
@@CanadianLife2020 I agree the storms seem to be getting stronger. I have friends in Florida they just got hit bad by Ian I believe 40 some lives lost so devastating.
Your timing is impeccable as I was wondering how you fared Fiona's fury. Thank you for taking us on your journey throughout Summerside and Kensington areas. It is heartbreaking to see so many mature trees lost and properties damaged. My family at the other end of the Island has survived with only some trees down. I still have not been able to talk to my aunt and uncle due to no cell service or power. So very relieved that there have been no fatalities reported on the Island. Good luck with your clean-up. I hope it doesn't become too costly. Looking forward to your next video. Stay well.
Thank you Anne. Things are slowly being cleaned. People are getting power back slowly. We are lucky in Summerside as most of us have power. Others are not that lucky. Cell service has been spotty but I hope that is back soon.
The sand dunes below our farm in darnley remind me of what the were like 40 years ago, they've actually built up over time, but gone back in time with one storm.
Thanks for showing Darnley and Twin Shores. We have camped there for years. I know the tea cup is gone, but wonder how Twin Shores coast line and dunes made out. We were there during Dorian in a cottage and that was a rough ride. This has been much worse. God bless everyone at PEI !
Good question! I have been there the other day and I will be there today. From what I could tell they are OK, I am sure there is erosion but not as bad then on Delvay, Cavendish etc.
I'm so sorry about all the beautiful trees down! I have 1 fb friend who lives on PEI n She sent me this video! I'm sending You All Hugs and Prayers! MPLS MN USA 😲😳😥❤️🙏💙😥
Thank you Barbara for your kind words. Yes it is sad as it will take decades for them to grow back as long as there are no other severe storms. Thank you for watching.
It's terrible what's happened to our island. I've lived here for 13 years now. We have fallen trees in front of, to the sides of, and behind our home, but we're one of the lucky ones who didn't have one fall on our home. We lost lots of shingles, trees, just terrible. We got power back after 8 days, I hope you have yours back now, too! ♥️♥️♥️ Glad to discover your channel, fellow Islander!
So much damage, my heart goes to all affected by Fiona, and there was some life lost, I am glad that you are safe. It will be hard for some to rebuild, lots of people retired on pension, some didn’t insure their homes, so sad. But I hope people will help as much as they can.
I was wondering how u were doing through the storm. I'm sorry u r going through this. But I am so grateful that u both and Lili r all safe. Thank u for the footage. I will keep u in my thoughts and prayers and hope life can get back to normal soon. ❤️
Thank you!!! We are doing ok. We are today out at the cottage checking things and the explore the shoreline. It has changed so much. So much destruction
You have a good style of making videos. The Brigton part of Charlottetown got hit hardest i think with all the huge trees that came down , i was through there on the sunday after
Thank you for watching Chris and for the kind comments! I have some footage that I am editing now from Charlottetown. I was shocked to see the devastation.
At one point, I lived behind Giant Tiger in Summerside. I miss the Island. I am so glad no one was hurt. Wow. I left in early April. It is so eerie seeing Summerside like this.
Hi Edward, thank you for watching and you are right, it is hard to see Summerside like that. It will be all fixed again and I do hope the trees get replanted and come back again one day.
Highland Ave between Central and Duke was impassable the next day, there were trees across the road at each end. One yard across the road from Pizza Delight looked like a tornado had passed through.
Fiona certainly unleased her wrath on the Island. So sorry to see such devastation, but thankfully no loss of life. It must have been terrifying to experience. I was there 2 weeks after Dorion 3 years ago and saw so many trees down then as well. The tree population has been hard hit. Glad you came through it all safely.
While I'm not as familiar with Summerside and environs as I am with the North Shore and N. Rustico and Cavendish where my in-laws live, I do recognize many landmarks there. It's a shame to see so many stately old trees damaged or destroyed, but it serves as a reminder that the height to which trees grow in any given place is usually a function of the frequency of hurricanes and other forces majeure. Glad you guys are okay. Thank you for posting this.
For me, This was a much better video than what we got from the news media because you showed places I know and care about. So, so sad to see the beautiful trees gone. I cannot believe you dared cross the half-eroded causeway in Darnley!!!! The whole thing could have collapsed and you guy would have ended up in the bay. Twin Shores: Is your cottage the first building you show? Maybe I missed something somewhere, but last I heard you had bought a lot and were going to get a cottage built. Don’t know what happened after that + what happened to the RV? So sad to see PEI devastated like that. We left on Thursday evening, so we missed the whole show. 😓 Glad you and N. are safe and your house suffered only minor damage.
Yes you are right we should have not crossed. Today it is not passable anymore. The cottage is the first one yeah and we just got it. The property is where the cottage is. The RV is soled and we will enjoy the cottage. We are glad we did sell it as it would have been a nightmare now after the hurricane.
Hopefully those old beautiful trees can be bolted closed to keep them up for a few more decades. [Edit] - plus... the whole video shows a lack of trash everywhere! That's amazing in this day-&-age! Good on yous!!
@@CanadianLife2020 during Dorian one of our big beautiful old trees cracked in the centre, we wrapped 10,000 lb straps on the top of it and bottom. It’s stayed together for 3 years now so I’m just going to leave the straps on I just don’t want to test my luck.
I can only imagine and I am so sorry to hear. I hope you have power back soon!!! I know how it is. I was without power in BC in 2006 for 7 days. This is not good and no fun.
Actually that black car was just a random car that got caught in the surge of the Barbara waite river. I seen you guys turning as i was coming from the side lower new annan rd (Barbara waite road) It was a wild storm for all of us!!!
That tree is most definitely gone and needs to be removed. Until you can get that done though you could buy a 2 inch wide ratchet strap and use it to strap the tree to stop it from splitting and hitting your home.
My brother lives in Puerto Rico and my other brother lives in Florida. I know that we are lucky. I have friends in Florida that lost much more then we did here.
Thank you so much! Sending to my PEI relatives who have moved west. Seeing is believing 😢Hope you have power.

Great grandma lived behind the City Hall building on Spring Street. My heart goes out to everyone on the island!
Hi there. Glad you liked it. Did she live on 44 spring street in the bed and breakfast? That is right behind city hall on Spring street.

Thank you for watching and I am glad you are ok. I could not sleep through the night it was too scary.
We're so glad to see that you managed to miss the worst of it with limited damage. Hoping everyone can recover and get back to some normalcy soon :)
Thank you boys so are we. We hope within a few weeks things look much better. However the Coastline will forever be changed. There’s so much destruction it’s hard to believe. So many trees down so much erosion from the island, just some thing we now have to deal with.
Hi I just came across you im in PEI too in Norboro, nice video it was a wild storm for sure.
Yes it for sure was wild. Thank you for watching. I hope this is not becoming a routine as we just had Dorian in 2019

Well done. Thank you!
Thank you for watching. So much devastation
Phew!
Glad you're safe...
Thank you Roger, so are we. It was not fun.
My heart goes out to you and all the Islanders. Please keep us posted.

I will have another video coming out shortly to show some of the erosion, keep watching. Thank you Steve.
My beautiful island home, I miss it so much :( It's sad to see the damage but people with come together and rebuild-it's the island way.
Yes!!! It will be rebuild and nature will be helping in a good way.

You are so right. There is a lot of heartbreak as people need to rebuild.
So many places I recognize, so sad!💕
Yes Hellen it is sad. But it will all come back overtime

Thank you so much for watching and the feedback!!!
Hello neighbor from Charlottetown! It's going to take a long time to somewhat recover from this devastation.
YES I think you are right Sarah, this is going to take some time. I am not sure, but I was not here for Dorian, but this seems worse.

We were in Summerside and stayed at Twin Shores in early August this year. So sad to see the damage to such a lovely place and such friendly people.
Yes Martin it is sad to see. I went out to the beaches today for the next video and it is sad to see. So much erosion

Yes the trees have not faired well at all. I was not here in 2019 but saw some videos. It was devastating.
We were vacationing at Park Corner and left Friday before it came in. So heartbreaking to see the damage. Our best to you.
Thank you J P. Yes it heartbreaking!! So many people are still without power. We hope that soon everyone and everything is going back to normal.

Thank you for watching John. I hope we can safe the trees, we are trying to see if we can bind them together to hold for many years to come.
Wish I could see Beaver St. That’s where I used to live. They had big trees on the Holman property!
Hi Hellen. Beaver street was ok from what I could see there is some footage in the video

Thank you Pierre it was a horrible night and nothing I want to have repeated. We are ok now and things are slowly returning to normal.
My husband worked on the Darnley Bridge back in 2009/2010
There was lots of erosion there. I am still shocked to see the differences.
Stay safe. Hopefully the worst is over and the community can start recovering.
Yes Aman so true.
glad you are safe
We are very happy all is ok
It sure showed us who was boss in Cape Breton man. Holy crap what a storm!
You got that right!!! Don’t want to experience it ever again, but Mother Nature I am sure has other plans.
Hopefully those old beautiful trees can be bolted closed to keep them up for a few more decades.
[Edit] - plus... the whole video shows a lack of trash everywhere! That's amazing in this day-&-age! Good on yous!!
We are hoping too!! I am getting someone to look at it. They belong to the house and I want to save them.

yep living ittrees on house in country pei no power yet 6 days and wont be on for other 4 here im fisherman from pei feeling the affect bad
I can only imagine and I am so sorry to hear. I hope you have power back soon!!! I know how it is. I was without power in BC in 2006 for 7 days. This is not good and no fun.
Murry River was sad to hear about. 😢❤
How are things down east? I hope all is ok.

Yes it was wild and don’t want to see it again
Uknow I should not say this by this time but uts stunning 😍 where your living. Our prayers with you all 🤲
Thank you so much!!
That tree is most definitely gone and needs to be removed. Until you can get that done though you could buy a 2 inch wide ratchet strap and use it to strap the tree to stop it from splitting and hitting your home.
That's the plan! we will have to see what can be done right now, we are worried for sure.
You actually fared very well have you seen Florida …all the buildings are gone you have your home still….
My brother lives in Puerto Rico and my other brother lives in Florida. I know that we are lucky. I have friends in Florida that lost much more then we did here.
His accent is not an Islanders..
haha that is for sure, very German if you ask me. :-)
Put a chain around the tree
Thank you. We are thinking of doing similar
