"Operations have returned to normal at IT outsourcer Keane Inc., where on
Sunday night Hurricane Juan ripped part of the roof off the building
housing the company's Halifax, Nova Scotia, facility.
With torrents of rain cascading through the office tower's exposed roof,
the staffers monitored systems through home operations and used cell phones
to communicate with each other. "

"CHARLOTTETOWN, Prince Edward Island - The downgraded remnants of Hurricane
Juan knocked out power and sank boats at a yacht club Monday while blowing
across Prince Edward Island before heading out to sea and quickly losing
steam.
Hurricane Juan lashed Nova Scotia with 86 mph winds Sunday, ripping off
roofs, uprooting trees, knocking out power and killing at least three
people before weakening to a tropical storm and heading north to Prince
Edward Island.
John Rossiter, a 31-year-old paramedic, died when a tree fell on an
ambulance in Halifax. Two other unidentified people were killed when trees
crushed their cars, officials said.
On Prince Edward Island, the storm knocked out power and sank boats at the
Charlottetown yacht club.
More than 100,000 people in Nova Scotia, on Canada's Atlantic coast, were
without power Monday, and many said the storm was more powerful than any
they could remember.
In its downtown, boulders the size of garbage cans were hurled from the
water's edge like pebbles.
In nearby Dartmouth, fierce winds tore off an apartment building's roof and
knocked down a wall in a hallway, trapping three people, firefighters said.
Police dug through the rubble but reported no injuries, and at least 200
residents evacuated from the four-story building spent the night at a local
hockey arena.
Heavy rain also washed out train tracks and caused a 10-car derailment. "
