Great video from last night's lightning storm

Thrill to the purple sky that caused massive power failure.

Posted by Kyle Shaw on Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 1:53 PM


Over on the YouTube, one Shawn Hirtle captured this super look at the electrical storm that rattled windows and took down power for nearly 50,000 of Nova Scotia Power's valued customers last night. And since a customer is a home or business, that figure probably translates to 10 percent of Nova Scotians had no electricity. But better to be powerless at home than in a plane that got hit by lightning.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
