Hurricane Juan, a Category 2 hurricane, hit the Nova Scotia coastline on September 29th, 2003, leaving a swath of severe damage as it travelled northwards across the province. Aerial photography was flown in October and November of 2003, and used to create digital orthomosaics which are available for download. The images were captured at a scale of 1:24000.
