Flash Flood Ravages Access to Our Land: Emergency ROAD Install & I Pay - Nova Scotia Hurricane 2024

A road washout stops us in our tracks. Taking matters into my own hands and fixing this issue is top priority so we can get back to harvesting wood and out upcoming blueberry crop. This extreme weather event was caused by Hurricane Beryl, a record-breaking Category 5 hurricane that wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and the United States, then into Eastern Canada. Beryl was the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, bringing unprecedented intensity and destruction. We are located in Nova Scotia, Canada

Witness the dramatic transformation of our backyard as unprecedented flash flooding turns our serene ponds and creek into a raging river! The torrential waters washed out our crucial bridge, cutting off access to our wood harvesting area and blueberry fields. This video captures the chaos, the challenge, and the ultimate resolution.

I embark on an urgent mission to secure a massive 24" diameter, 16' long corrugated plastic culvert. Despite already having two culverts (a 36" and a 24"), the sheer volume of water necessitated this additional culvert to handle the flood.

The action unfolds as I use my Cat 242D skid steer to install the new culvert and rebuild the road. Before setting the culvert in place, I personally leveled the area by hand with a shovel, ensuring a perfect fit. This video is packed with intense moments, hands-on engineering, and a satisfying resolution as I attempt to conquer the flood's aftermath on the homestead

Experience the thrill, the challenge, and the triumph as we rebuild and restore our beloved backyard. Don't miss this exciting and inspiring journey!
