494.0. "What About "Bob"?" by BAKBAY::FRITZ () Wed Aug 21 1991 13:11

    Anyone out there know how hurricane "Bob" hit the Maritimes/Quebec?
    I have some relatives in the area vacationing.
    
    I heard the hurricane still had some strength when it entered Canada.

    Hi, 
    
    From what I understand, the Maritimes and Quebec were spared with only
    minimal damage. I guess that BOB ran out of steam as it approached the
    Maritimes. 
    
    I also believe that I read somewhere that two girls were swept away
    into the water, were missing and persumed drown. This was somewhere in
    the east coast. Sorry but I can't recall in which city.

    2 girls and 2 boys were swept out to sea at Cape Forchu, near Yarmouth,
    NS. The boys made it back to shore - the girls' bodies haven;t been
    found.
