  1. Getting some good gusts here. Power flickered not too long ago.
  2. It has really picked up here. Wind gusts are right around TS force and the power flickered.
  3. Yeah, the station here is approaching 30kts so quite a difference.
  4. It has been very tough. This is the official warning for eastern Cape Breton
  5. Henry Island just to my west is gusting to 50kts I'm about half that currently but it's deteriorating here at a faster rate now.
  6. Dropsonde shakes out to ~932mb. Not bad as it's still on approach. It looks like it's going more northward, but I need the NNW shift to be on a path to a center pass.
  7. Dropsonde will put the actual pressure at ~932mb.
  8. Recon just found an extrapolated pressure of 927.9mb...
  9. Recon just found an extrapolated pressure of 927.9mb...
  10. Recon with an extrapolated pressure of 938.9mb so far.
  11. Not off the top of my head, but they're above normal. Note how Fiona is trying to hang onto an eyewall despite the interaction with the trough.
  12. Yes. I'm in Port Hood on Cape Breton Island. Conditions gradually deteriorating here with heavy rain and a relatively light breeze so far. Not much bandwidth to stream. If there's something streamable I'll try to do so. Pressure down to 994.5mb.
  13. 18z GFS still hooks it west as it transitions tonight and the Euro will probably do the same. It’s just a waiting game to see if it happens. This is always my most nerve wracking time but the waiting is always tough. Tropical definitely ain’t for the faint of heart.
  14. This is always the most nerve wracking time. After all the tracking, after all the research, after all the travel…you just hope you made a good call. We shall see.
  15. It’s beautiful up here. I’m just waiting to see when this makes the turn north…
  16. Here’s the mesonet for Cape Breton and NS. https://www.capebretonweather.ca/
  17. Meanwhile, the 12z Euro is a nuke for FL and has the system intensify again off the east coast.
  18. I’m still floored that the models are still showing this as an 18h forecast.
  19. Yep, that's what I figured. It's all down to nowcasting now. It's hauling up this way. https://media1.giphy.com/media/DpD25Z4bwv128wELZP/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611a7b1036802073fc007587d857c8e01987be1337d&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
  20. Nice. I didn't expect him to be that far west. If he cashes in there with a center pass I should be a lock up here. Famous last words.
  21. Yeah, it's a gamble being on the island. Driving over it yesterday I think it'll be ok as long as it doesn't get crushed by waves. I'm guessing Josh is down by Canso?
  22. Yeah we'll see. I expect some water rise, but nothing too dramatic here given my position on the coast. If I were further south, it'd be trouble. Originally I was going to be in Louisbourg but that fell through.
  23. Yeah, it's a very nice look on satellite especially for this latitude. Don't like relying on a N/NNW hook but here we are Highest latitude Cat 4 since Debby in 1982 per Phil Klotzbach.
