Striking Nova Scotia on September 29, 2003, Hurricane Juan became the strongest Hurricane in history to make landfall on the Canadian coast, battering Halifax with wind gusts greater than 130 miles an hour, creating 60 foot waves near Halifax Harbor, damaging a third of the city's buildings. Just 5 months later, in the midst of a national recovery effort, a second hurricane-strength cyclone slammed into Halifax, dumping over 3 feet of snow on the city in just 24 hours, a record that still stands today. Nicknamed White Juan, many residents questioned if the storm was related to the record setting hurricane that had occurred a few months prior. Today we'll dive into the difference between Atlantic tropical and extratropical cyclones, analyze the meteorology behind these two powerful storms, and comb through the incredible damage left behind in southern Nova Scotia.
