  1. Thankfully for Jamaica, their power supply is massively more resilient than Nova Scotia's. By my calculations, Jamaica's power supply is 20 times more resilient than Nova Scotia's..

    18% of Jamaica's population is without power after Hurricane Melissa's gusts of up to 300km/h swept through the island.

    In 2022, Hurricane Fiona left 80% of Nova Scotians without power. The strongest gust was merely 180km/h (which is 1/5 the power of Hurricane Melissa).

  2. After #hurricanefiona we were without internet for 13 days as lines were on the ground and poles snapped. We had everything reattached and then the brush removal team managed to snag the cables and snap guide wires and rip equipment from the poles. Poor #eastlink line crews. Back you come again.
