Well the technical aspect will be determined later but that track correction west is killer. I know I’m splitting hairs but a jog east of me would put me in a more favourable wind direction. South wind is right off the lake. No bueno.
-
Right up my fanny. No cheek spreading required. Unreal.
-
Cat 2 now at landfall right over my house. F%#£ me.
-
100 million trees were blown down by Juan. See what kinda numbers Dorian will be able to produce. I suspect my yard landscape will look different on Sunday. Makes me sad but not a thing I can do.
-
Juan was a low end Cat 2 100mph. This will be less intensity wise but a much bigger cane than Juan. Airport which is 20miles inland had a gust to 143kph(90mph) during Juan. See what Dorian can bring. It's looking pretty darn stout on Satellite.
-
Well it's game on. I was hoping for the best but it seems mother nature has other ideas. Juan - "I am the most destructive Hurricane to hit Nova Scotia". Dorian - "hold me beer" I'll try and gets pics and any major updates for as long as I can.
-
GFS with a west tick. Puts the eye right over me. Game on.
-
NHC track now puts almost right over Halifax. Jeebus this thing wants to pull a Juan. I guess i'll be in the shit now.
-
I might catch the eye, if there still is one at that point. That's a much closer drive for me than Richmond County CB
-
Yes indeed. Cape Breton will be on the windy southeast side of Dorian. Mighty blow coming up for them.
-
That track should lay down some damage. Yikes!
-
Hurricane center is saying 150kmh wind speed just to my south. That’s close to cat 2 strength. Damn. So far if track holds, I’ll be on the less windy side. But it will be close. Nail bitter.
-
Wow this is taking in a lot more oxygen than I thought it would. Anyway to set the record straight. Yes I love weather. No I don't want things that I paid/pay for wrecked or damaged. If it happens, it happens. I just won't be excited for it as much as I was years ago. Richmond county is a 5hr drive from me so due to that alone, I won't be going there. However I have another spot in mind to get feeling of hurricane winds. Osbourne Head or the bluff on Lawrencetown beach.
-
If I could experience it without my place being trashed, I'd be ok with that but then that would make me a selfish weather weenie. I suspect I'll see enough to get my fill of tropical activity. That adjustment east might bring the good stuff to your doorstep.
-
Exactly. When I was younger I was over the moon at getting a hurricane. Juan was awesome but now I look back at the damage and think if I had to pay for it or clean it up, not so fun. Plus my place is heavily wooded.
-
Being a homeowner and being responsable for the damages changes your perspective some. Still like weather but I have skin in the game i'd rather not loose now.
-
Shift east last night. keeps me on the rainier side and not the high wind side. Could still cross over or move to my west but I don't think that will happen
-
I'm sure someone will be there to capture the event. I'll have enough to contend with, flooding the big concern with some tree/ tree limb damage. The severe stuff should stay offshore but I expect tropical storm conditions of 60mph gusts even at my location. Im using Hurricane Hortense 1996 as my analog.
-
This is gonna hurt. I can feel it zeroing in. 16 years since Juan. I guess my number is getting pulled again.
-
937mb just outside the benchmark. Is that even possible?
-
Looks like a slight tick west. Not liking that move. As a property owner, you start to sweat these events more. I’d be more excited if I didn’t have anything at stake.
-
The faster this weakens, the better. Track appears to take the center of whatever is left of Dorian, to my south. Rainier but less windy. Hopefully the trend east continues.
-
Yeah you’re not kidding about gfs. It has be pretty focused on a NS direct hit. 18z keeps that theme going. That is concerning. Getting inside 5 days now.
-
Just a close brush for me. Not sure what it will be when it gets here. Should be stormy conditions regardless.
-
But this is neat what it morphs into. Road trip to Churchill Falls, Lab?
