The front end of Hurricane Leslie hit Halifax on my last day with high winds and heavy rain. Setting out for the airport early seemed sensible as downtown was a wash out. News at the airport was that Leslie was about to hit St John's so I had gotten out with a day to spare. The airport at St John's was closed and everything was closed down just in case.
Taking off in rain and high winds is no fun and with a hurricane in the area the first hour of the flight was horrible. Got thrown around pretty good and everyone was a bit green round the gills by the time we got some clear air. No one was allowed to leave their seats and even the cabin crew in their jump seats at the back were looking pretty scared.
