If you live in Montreal then you are good. This is for everyone who lives especially in NS and PEI as this could be one of the most dangerous storms that has hit this area.

So everyone understands how dangerous this storm could end up being.

Looks like the real deal. Going to dump a ton of water and will probably break the all time pressure record.
Stay safe everyone.

I have friends hoping to fly out of Moncton tomorrow (Friday). As of now, they're still waiting to see if their flight will be cancelled. My thoughts are with all my Habs brothers and sisters who may be affected by this.

Yeah it looks like we're in for a terrible weather day on Saturday and into Sunday.
A couple of days ago the track was forecast to pass directly over where I am in NL but it as since moved more towards the west over Cape Breton. We're still forecast to receive upwards of 130 km/h winds and between 50-100mm of rain with potentially very high storm surges causing possible coastal flooding so this could possibly still get ugly for us.
Gonna tie everything down or take inside anything that can potentially blow around tomorrow. The only thing I'll have to worry about is the boat we'll still have on the water but with the forecast wind direction with this storm it's pretty sheltered from the wind. I'm a bit concerned about the potentially high tides and potential high storm surge but the boat should be fine where it's moored.

I'm in Japan doing my Tokyo/Shanghai run for 2 weeks and we just survived Typhoon Nanmadol......
Good plan to tie the shit down, and glad to hear the boat is in a good spot!! Hopefully you have a generator to keep those fridges and freezers going. Lots of candles and beer and propane for the BBQ.
Cheers and stay safe

Wak Prescott the 40M/yr fraud, here we gooo!
I have a lot of family members and friends in northeastern NB and erosion is already a major problem there, this storm certainly won't help. In my mom's home village, people are losing huge chunks of land every year and are starting to be forced to move their homes because the sea is getting dangerously close. Sadly, it'll only get worse with more and more hurricanes like this one in the next few decades.

One of my crazy interest in life are Hurricanes (well, every kind of wrath from mother nature from earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, viruses etc.)
And this one might hit as a Major Hurricane (3 or higher) and in Canada which is very rare.

No choice but to see what happens. Hoping it doesn't hit as hard as they are predicting.
Down in the Atlantic right now, we are getting ready.................this looks bad guys....real bad.

I'm just on the other side of the Bay of Fundy in NB and it seems to be missing us completely. Nova Scotia and Cape Breton look to be getting hit directly. Very serious situation for sure. Stay safe over there!

Here we go again lol. This is going to be a big one with the only difference being that winds will be from the Northwest and typically with these systems we get heavy southeasterly winds. The air temperature is only forecast to be in the low teens. Strong NW winds are typically what we would get in November-January so this one is a bit different from the typical storm. Hopefully, it is a fast-moving storm and the damage will be minimal, It looks like landfall will be somewhere between Canso NS and southern Cape Breton Island.

Yeah just read that the eye is focused more toward Sydney, cape Breton right now.

Luckily I'm in the western part of NS which just appears to be a lot of rain not the crazy winds that Cape Breton will be getting

I hope that it moves even further out to sea and spares us so much damage. Flooding will probably wreak the most havoc, as you know there are thousands of back roads in this province and there are always washouts. It cost the province big money whenever one of these storms rolls through, NS power has 500 crew members on standby as we speak. Fingers crossed that we get out of this on the good side of things.
Shit, I'm driving to Gaspé tomorrow. But I think it should hit that area a bit later in the afternoon, if I'm not mistaken? Hurricanes are very unpredictable anyhow.
I was scheduled to fly into Halifax (work related) for the first time since the pandemic started, and had no choice but to re-schedule.
Stay safe peeps!
