Is Prince Edward a good place to live? Absolutely. There are great opportunities to be had on the island, there are jobs available, and a good school system if you are coming with children.
Since that time, there has been only one other confirmed snowfall event as a result of a tropical cyclone while still considered to be tropical, which was caused by Hurricane Ginny in 1963, generating accumulations of 13 in (33 cm) in Maine.
Galveston Hurricane of 1900
Canada is usually only hit with weak storms, due to the generally cool waters immediately offshore. The strongest hurricane to make landfall in Canada was Hurricane Ginny of 1963, which had winds of 110 mph (175 km/h), making it a strong Category 2 hurricane at the time of its landfall near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
On average, there are around 80 confirmed and unconfirmed tornadoes that touch down in Canada each year, with most occurring in the southern Canadian Prairies, Southern Ontario and southern Quebec. Canada ranks as the country with the second most tornadoes per year, after the US.
Hurricane IgorExtreme damage, the most destructive hurricane ever to strike Newfoundland, as well as the worst storm of tropical origin to hit Newfoundland since 1935. Third wettest hurricane on record, and maximum sustained winds at landfall of approximately 140 km/h (87 mph).
Hurricane Hazel struck the Toronto area on 15-16 October 1954, with devastating results. It was Canada's worst hurricane and Toronto's worst natural disaster. During the storm, winds reached 124 km/h and over 200 millimetres of rain fell in just 24 hours.
It is not rare for hurricanes to strike Nova Scotia (once every three years lately), but usually they are barely hurricane strength when they reach our shores. Hurricane Juan made landfall on September 29, 2003 as a marginal category two hurricane with maximum sustained wind speeds of 158 km/h .
Dorian's 185-mph winds over Great Abaco and Grand Bahama islands tied it with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in the Florida Keys as the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane on record.
With sustained winds of 185 mph, Dorian was the strongest hurricane on record to strike the Bahamas since records began in 1851. It was also the first Category 5 to make landfall on Grand Bahama Island, and at 185 mph was the strongest hurricane on record to hit Abaco Island.
Grand Bahama and the Abaco chain, the northernmost islands in the Bahamian archipelago, were Dorian's hardest-hit victims. Great Abaco has been rendered unlivable, with roads ripped from the ground, power lines torn down, and nearly every structure decimated to rubble.
According to Sands, the official death toll was 74. The storm's massive destruction along with the slow pace of the rescue and recovery led to wide speculation that the true number of deaths was far higher than what the government has said.

Teddy's Fate in the AtlanticThe system is expected to traverse Nova Scotia today as a strong extratropical cyclone, and move near Newfoundland by tonight. After passing east of Labrador on Thursday, the global models show Teddy merging with another large extratropical low over the north Atlantic.”
