One of the strongest storms ever to hit Canada slammed into Nova Scotia's coastline early Saturday, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power.
Former Hurricane Fiona made landfall early on Saturday morning over Guysborough county on the northeast corner of mainland Nova Scotia, Canada's weather service said. There were maximum sustained winds of almost 81 mph, while peak gusts of over 100 mph were detected, it added.
Previously a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center declared that Fiona morphed into a post-tropical cyclone as it bolted north, exhibiting characteristics of storms with both tropical and high-latitude pedigree.
Irrespective of its technical designation, forecasters cautioned that the storm would be a blockbuster.
"This storm will be a severe event for Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec," the Canadian Hurricane Center wrote Friday. The federal agency previously said the storm had the potential to become "historic" and "a landmark weather event."
The storm was forecast to be so serious that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau postponed a visit to Japan, where he planned to attend Shinzo Abe's funeral, at the last minute on Friday.
Hurricane warnings cover most of Nova Scotia as well as Prince Edward Island and western Newfoundland, where meteorologists predict 3 to 6 inches of rain, with up to 10 inches in some areas, and hurricane-force winds of at least 74 mph. Tropical storm warnings extend from New Brunswick to eastern Quebec to northern Newfoundland, where rainfall could reach 5 inches and winds at least 39 mph.
The center also predicted a considerable ocean surge, or storm-driven rise in water above normally dry land, causing coastal flooding. It predicted a "rough and pounding surf" with waves up to 26 to 40 feet (8 to 12 meters).
Ahead of the storm's arrival, Nova Scotia, home to about 1 million people, was preparing Friday for the worst.
Nova Scotia Power warned of widespread power outages, with trees still in full bloom and soils relatively soft, and activated its emergency operations center. And the blackouts could be lasting, as crews will wait for winds to calm before they safely begin repairs, said Dave Pickles, the utility's chief operating officer.
Fiona, which brought devastating flooding to Puerto Rico and cut power to the entire island, is the latest marker of an Atlantic hurricane season that started slow but has suddenly turned active. The storm is one of five systems meteorologists are watching in the Atlantic basin, including one that organized into Tropical Storm Ian Friday night and could soon become a threat to Florida as a hurricane.
Im still kicking. Power went out at 1:30am, wind is still steady at 60-70kph with gusts of 80-90km. Some Trees are down on my property, no structures damage. All the green leaves from the trees plastered the house like someone threw wet spinach all over the north side. Charlottetown lost power before my area, north of the city.
Power still out. Only lights coming from the city is the airport. Nothing is open for business, all gas sations closed, seen one gas station with the pumps blown off. Golf course club house near me, burnt to the ground, up obviously no attempt made to put it out. Maybe because the tidal surge went up into the clubhouse. Lots of flooding down at the beach and through the beach dunes, part of the road is washed out, and the road as we exited the beach area was submerge under 2 ft of water for about 150ft. More downed power lines in the city than the rural areas. Lots of people aimlessly driving through traffic lights, not even stopping as all lights are out. Lots of people out seeing the damage.
We are okay, we've a gas generator. Wonder how that fits into the green agenda.(idiots).
What I've learned. No power, you need gas powered things to get things done or all manual tools. We are lost as a society. Once the gas runs out, its 2 feet and a heart beat to do everything the old fashioned way, manually and if you don't have those tools, you are no better than a caveman. Who really is smarter?
Lots of cleanup to do in the coming days, got lots of wood for the winter. Fun times!

parzival We have a tub of water. Lol. Thrown wet spinach, a new look. It's an experience I will remember. I think some people are rethinking ocean side properties. Hehehe, and electric cars. Didn't see one driving around the last 2 days. Go figure. Alls well. Thank you.
Now Walmart and Target with every other retailer are cancelling billions of dollars of orders, all disposable income items. What do they know that we don't? Natural gas is not where it needs to...
For anyone interested (I just found him today).... October is on her way. codis [Link]
Disruption of the status quo aka automatic pilot is essential for evolution, improvement, upward n onward.

Here's another thing Ive noticed. No cash, no gas, no food, no nothing. Phone lines up, but no internet. How's that going to work in a cashless society?
Cell and data service is intermittent.
I guess thats what they mean by, you will own nothing and be happy. Happy once you are dead.
LindaMay I so wanted to and decided it wasn't worth wasting gas on a blow hard. Besides, he's already 4 days late to this party, narcist, that he is. 63243 customers (not people as the number is more) are still without power. Here is a map..[Link] Power will be restored to those most vulnerable first (city folk) and last to those who can handle it better, the rural residences. Ah life in the country. 4 days into it and with the help of a generator, we have internet. I just can't understand how we have internet and yet most gas stations in the city don't and are only taking cash. LOL Although, the other day, filling up gas cans for the generator, the gas station gave us a deal, only charged us $46.00 instead of $46.65. they had no small change.
JTF Truth - I hope you have you some silver coin just in case. the coin from Canada just now is the cheapest....I wonder why that is so?
I'm pretty sure if folks realized having physical coin in hand was the best insurance policy that the price would rise exponentially and I suspect that is going to happen, so get it when you can. I know more pressing matters are to be dealt with presently, but I'm not kidding around and I'm glad to hear you seem to have survived the storm - I didn't know you lived there, but now I do and did you know it was the lowest pressure reading ever in the history of records in Canada? Must of been a hell of a storm.
Ken
ps - I knew that about the pressure even before I read the article because I follow these storms closely - that is just the kind of fella that I am....storms appeal to me...not sure why...but whatever - save the wood and get ready....better times are on the way.
Buffalo_Ken All is good BK all is good. They said Juan was bad, but Fiona was truly a bitch. Yes I read about the lowest pressure system, kinda cool. We all survived. Lots of dumb and dumber moments since, not me, just other people who don't understand that you can't run a generator inside your house and burning their houses down with candles. I haven't heard of any deaths, but EMS and the fire dept have been busy responding to the dumb dumbs. At 1:30 am AT, we begin day 5 of no power. So when they say prep for 3 days, best to at least double or triple it..
But the really big eye opener, the one the news isn't talking about, lots of places that are able to open could only take cash for the first 2 days. When they make us go cashless, we're all f'cked when it comes to dealing with big business. Bought some snacks at the closest gas station to me, they had no power, but did have a generator, they ran out of gas an hour before I got there. So I tried to barter with the cashier, I'd sell them a couple of liters of the gas in my car for the goods I wanted. It took her a couple of seconds to smile.
I'm up in the wee hours ( early morning ) doing my usual Internet browsing ( I can't sleep) and I have a little ditty of a song bouncing around in my head which is quite catchy, so I thought ๐ค Would LM enjoy this.
LindaMay LM, your intentions are most probably honourable but Sauerkraut I'm from Yorkshire
Talking of pushing and pulling? Earth is restless and seismic activity is in motion as I post, the Charlie Gibbs fracture line is positively banging away, there's much unease and a big earthquake could be in the making.
I don't do drugs, partial to the more than the odd ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ, its that which keeps me regular ".. you know. "
Me too (? ... :jawdrop:).
I don't even know where to get harder stuff (except vodka). I would suspect every alleged dealer to be a police setup.
Some folk are better suited to such culinary dislikes .
That stuff can be helpful to flush your stomach if the need arises. Avoiding stuff that provokes painful reactions of the digestive system is even better. That's what I do lately, so I rarely need any Sauerkraut.
I don't know what is going to happen, but I want something better.....don't we all....
Some heavy rain heading my way I suspect but folks before me in the line of the storm gonna get it worse I reckon.
Once in my mind........ahhh forget it...it don't matter.
Before too long I'll be in Canada and around the fireplace when I'm there I'll tell others about ya....assuming you ain't there of course, and if you are there, I'll tell them about ya still.
It is important to be self-sufficient - ain't that evident?

Anyway, it's a new day and I feel some music coming on

You need to go easy with that stuff, start with two or three spoons/forks, not more. Otherwise ... you know.
One can get used to it, like with alcohol and opium. My wife eats 4 or 5 times as much (Sauerkraut !) without problems.
Some folk are better suited to such culinary dislikes .
