During the time we've had the house in the Maritimes, we've experienced two minor hurricanes. By Minor, I mean that there was little or no damage, which is a good thing. The most recent one was on July 1, 2014, Arthur. In our neighbourhood, Arthur amounted to a good wind, with the direct hit happening on the Fundy side and into New Brunswick. We have a beach near us called Tor Bay and it's on open ocean so we wandered over there to see what was happening. In this photograph, the first big rock is usually out of the water and you can stand on top of it. The storm surge brought much higher than normal tides and also some interesting waves. I couldn't believe how hard it was to even stand up in the wind.
