Halifax –

 

“Geeze, y’don’t get a space that close to the mall that often! I shoulda known better! Said 47-year-old Gordie Puddister, part-time bartender and avid fly fisherman. “I was just gonna grab a new tackle box at Canadian Tire and whoosh! It was like getting hit in the face with a giant rainbow trout’s tail! Saved a few bucks though, a tackle box came floating by so I snagged it! Gotta look at the bright side, that’s how we roll out here!” Assessment from the damage is expected to take weeks, or at least until insurance companies can come up with an excuse not to pay out flood damage coverage.
