Where’s
there’s a storm, there’s a story, and over the centuries Atlantic Canada has
experienced more than its fair share of weather related disasters. Atlantic
Canada’s Greatest Storms chronicles many of the most dramatic and tragic storms
that have struck the east coast, from 1745’s Grand Armada Tragedy to 2017’s Ice
Storm.
The
Story takes readers from the great hurricanes of the North Atlantic- including
the 1775 Independence Hurricane, the Saxby Gale in 1869, and Hurricane Igor in
2010 – to the terrifying series of blizzards in 19.5 that left passenger trains
stranded for days in the Annapolis Valley, to Newfoundland’s 1929 tsunami,
which devastated the Burin Peninsula and carried people and homes out to sea.
