A small tanker ran aground near Sydney Mines yesterday.
The “Arca 1” lost engine power and hit the shore at Little Pond.
It was empty and on the way to Mexico.
There were only six crewmembers aboard, and they were airlifted to safety by helicopter; as a crowd gathered on the shore to watch the dramatic rescue.
Nobody was hurt.
A Nor’easter pounded Newfoundland and Labrador yesterday after burying Nova Scotia Saturday night and early Sunday.
The Annapolis Valley seemed to get the most snow with 30cms.
Halifax measured 23cm and Sydney got off easier this time with 12cm.
At the peak about 6,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were left without electricity yesterday, but everybody was hooked back up last night.
