S7E29: Tara Pyfrom's memoir, The Ocean in Our Blood, recounts surviving Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and relocating to New Brunswick

May 05, 2025

Hurricane Dorian wasn't kind to Atlantic Canada, but it attacked the Bahamas. The 2019 storm recorded peak winds of nearly 300km/h and left roughly 70,000 people homeless. Among those was Tara Pyfrom, her wife, their daughter, and their dogs. The water entered the house. Tara and her family swam in their living room to survive. And when the winds quieted, they packed up and moved to New Brunswick. Tara has now published a memoir, The Ocean in Our Blood, about their experience. She joins Jenna & Tosh to talk about the process of confronting grief and trauma that led to the book and the family's current life in Saint John, New Brunswick.


The Jenna & Tosh Show is a co-production of Pickle Planet Moncton and The Podcast Hub, and is recorded & aired by Rogers TV New Brunswick
