HURRICANE LEE and ME

[yianik]

Okay, annual hurricane time for the Atlantic Provinces. Usually Nova Scotia takes the brunt but appears there will be more sharing this time.

Hope you got your batteries, propane ( or charcoal) and storm chips already.

I'm trying to convince my wife going shore fishing at 700 am ( high tide 943 am ) is something to look at, but probably hunkering down makes more sense.

Not looking too bad at this point, but the trees are full and a gust here and there and we have major blackouts. And the rain.

Anyway, good luck to all and if you have a moment toss in a post on how things are going.

Hang in there and I hope you and your loved ones and the whole region really, gets through this easily.

Thank you. Looks like most of the region will just get a good soaking and some gusts, without major trouble. But NS has had the wildfires and the flooding this year, and a couple places may be in for a bumpy couple of days. Don't want anymore tragedy.

Prayers to you and your family my friend.

Want to add that I was in Halufax for Juan and that was almost a 2, and while there was tremendous damage it was mostly trees falling on buildings, not so much buildings damaged by the wind. So fingers crossed for you.

I don't think this one is a bad one. Hoping not anyway. Suppose to hit over night and rage tomorrow, gone by Sunday daylight. Got a slight breeze to south east here now. Blowing about 20 mph.

I sawed a few lower branches off trees in my lawn couple days ago. Figured they will catch less wind. Hope it works. Save the tree. They nice hardwood trees didn't want to lose them.

You are right, not supposed to be that bad.

Man the radar models showed waves upwards of 30 feets at shore, unsure if it's a wise move to go fishing, lol. Then again, the closest body of water to where I live is the Canal Lachine so, you clearly know more about navigation than I do.

I live on the opposite end of the province and I have been following the storm tracker on Environment Canada throughout the week and it is indeed headed right for you. If I am correct here, isn't it better to be in the eye of a hurricane as opposed to being on the outside edges of the storm? I think that wind speed is lower in the center but I might be wrong. I am hoping that the weather predictions are correct, and it remains a post-tropical storm and you guys come out of this unscathed.

 

[HuGort]

You are right, not supposed to be that bad.

You getting any wind down there yet? Blowing about 20-25 mph easterly here now

 

[David Suzuki]

not worried too much as long as my powers back by sunday kickoff lol

If 30 foot waves hit the shore line then we are done. What you are looking at is probably misleading, and the waves out to sea will be reaching 30 feet but not along the shore. Bay of Fundy ( highest tides in world ) will probably be a bit whacky.

But. The shore line is not the smartest place to be hanging out when Lee hits. No problem a wave big enough to come in and take you out. I wouldn't risk that, I'm just thinking if it's not too bad first thing to see about it. Probably the fish will be heading to deeper water by then though.

Nothing

I’m all prepared here in Halifax. I’m just glad it’s not hurricane Chris Lee

The eye wall, which is around the eye, actually has the worst wind. Again, the eye passed over Halifax with Juan but the winds didn't directly damage structures that much, it was mostly trees doing the damage. I had one tree hit my house and another crushed the garage. But buildings stood up to the winds pretty well.

Nothing

It was three days ago and we were monitoring live with my climatology teacher, he said it was likely very innacurate for coastal swell. Curious as to where it is now, unfortunately I dont have an account on the website he uses.

We got walloped hard by Fiona last year, winds went as high as 179 kms, it was a scary night with plenty of damage left by the storm and some still remains almost a year later.

The eye of the storm is very light winds, but the butthole of the storm (eye wall is the real term, but I like the image.) has the strongest. Sadly, if youre in the eye, it means you went through the fill diameter of the eye wall.

In HRM myself, shouldn't be a particularly bad one here at least. Hoping I don't lose power as this is an excellent excuse to watch the rookie camp tournament games this weekend

Most important thing to stock up on is alcohol. Don't make the mistake i made during hurricane Katrina.

Fiona was a bad one. Used to be a hurricane every ten years or so would cause damage, now it's more often.

I’m all prepared here in Halifax. I’m just glad it’s not hurricane Chris Lee

Yep, all Hab homes would have a tree through a window.

The weather has been very strange this summer, I have never seen so many days with grey skies and rain during my time in this province.

That's pretty cool.

If it happened like that, no doubt insurance agent C. Lee would come by, announce he did not see any tree, and therefore you would be getting nothing from the insurance company.

Would definitely blow more.
