It's never easy to cover a natural disaster, especially when it's in your own backyard.Last night after coming home from a shopping trip for maternity clothes for Erin, we quickly realized that we were the victims of an uncaring and ruthless gust of wind.
" When I saw our Gazebo thrown into the trees my little heart just broke" was the exasperated lament from Erin. I too was left wondering what type of a world do we really live in anymore? When there are children starving, gangs revolting and a war in Afghanistan and Iraq, now you can add Johnston's River to the list of places in the World that just aren't safe.
And while PEI Provincial Treasurer Mitch Murphy is remaining non-commital on disaster relief for the plight of the Duffy's. Our local chapter of the HoGi's Missionary group, Josh Duffy rolled up his sleeves to get his hands dirty and help pull the gazebo from the trees. Risking the itchy scratches from the trees he bravely went to work.
With the clean-up nearly finished the only question left is where are these poor brave souls going to spend their summer now?

awww poor erin..
that picture makes me sad. are you going to return it?? they'll probably take it back. ha.
that josh sure is a brave fellow! go josh!
we'll try taking it back but we're not expecting too much, if they take it great if not then it sucks to be us... Josh is brave and I don't think he even got a scratch.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Thank you... so you are familiar with these powerful gusts of winds out this way also.
