The
aftermath of the ice storm is hitting the Kingston Peninsula especially
hard. Howard Heans, who operates the Harding's Point campground at the
Westfield ferry landing, has been without power for over a week.
Heans
telling CHSJ News he drove to Carter's Point and the damage is mind
boggling with downed trees covering both sides of the road forcing you
to drive down the centre. Heans says, at times, he had to stop and lift
trees that were in the way. He's worried what might happen and how many more trees will come down if the winds
become gusty.
Heans goes on to say the sound of tree limbs falling in the deafening silence sounded like shotgun blasts.
