<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(228,228,228)"><b>F Yes, the Groundhog Day Storm was Feb.2nd, 1976. Winds were clocked at Yarmouth airport at 101 mph at noon, but I think they were even stronger at CSI and Baccaro. The CSI causeway was impassable due to the storm surge at high tide, and some fishing boats were lifted and moved across the road at Sherose Island. The intensity of the storm was a surprise, so not many took precautions, resulting in much loss of property. Thankfully no lives were lost due to the "storm of the century", and my grade six class at Port La Tour School had some great writing projects about the storm, when we finally got back to school. Power was out for several days.Cheers, Joan Ronald Arsenault wrote: > Jim, > > I think you meant Feb. 2, 1976! > > Ron > > 2008/9/29 James W.
