Friday night I was at a B&B in Charlottetown after my nephew's wedding, when Hurricane Fiona struck, knocking down a number of trees. Naturally, we lost power, and it sounds like it's not going to be fully restored for a week or two. In addition, one of the falling trees landed squarely on my cool VW Golf. (Sad trombone.)
