Plaster Rock, New Brunswick

In July of 2010 in the small town of Plaster Rock a freak wind storm came out of nowhere. After supper the sky suddenly turned black and the rain started with wind howling. It was a scene from a nightmare with the power cutting out in the beginning and not knowing what was going on because it was not in the forecast. Soon the thunder and lightening began. This storm lasted for a few hours but the effects lasted for days.

The power was shut off for three days and city workers from hours away were called in to clear away the trees and fix the broken power lines. It is just another example of how unpredictable Mother Nature can be.
