The Hurricane Centre have upgraded Kyle to a Cat. 1 and He is picking up speed just like Juan did. So Kyle will slam into Yarmouth, Shelbourne around 9pm instead of going up the Bay of Fundy. The interesting fact of this Hurricane is that Kyle is hitting Nova Scotia 5 years to the day that Hurricane Jaun slammed into us here in halifax.
Kyle is now expected to cross Nova Scotia over towards Digby and up through NB.
The wind and the rain here in Halifax is terrible the rain is warm like bath water and is coming at you almost sideways. You can hear the rumble and moaning in the wind and it sounds like souls in distress.
We have our candles out and our flashlights in easy reach. Filled up a 5 gallon jug of water just in case.

Is a 'Cat 1' very bad then? Hell I hope you guys are OK.
They rate them from cat 1 to cat 5 depending on the speed of the sustained winds. Cat 1 wind is about 100 to 120km per hour. cat 5 would be up to 230 km + per hour. Hurricane Ike was a cat 4.
Cat 1 can still rip roofs off a home. In shelbourne a house that was being built was completely flattened.
So far no reports of any deaths. Things can be rebuilt. We were lucky here in Halifax had the internet and TV down for a while but no power outages where we are but there are sporadic pockets in the HRM Area.
Blimey Tarf , batton down the hatches , hope it blows through quickly and your all ok .
Beast- it blew away. We are fine.
was bad in places but we were fine this time. My friend Jack Daniels and the Johnny Walker twins red and black where on hand in case of trouble.
Glad you are OK. I was friendly with Jack Daniels for ages but he led me astray and caused me many embarrassing incidents so we are no longer on speaking terms. I once spent a night locked in a public lavatory aftera night out on the town with him.
