Hurricane Bill

[Bombila]

I don't remember ever reading a meteorological discussion in this forum, but it should fall under Physical sciences.

Best case projection is Bill heading east out to sea without making landfall anywhere along the east coast US or Canada.

However, it's also quite possible (maybe likely) that this storm will affect me and/or other forum members on the east coast.

<<panics>>

Is there a Meteorologist in the house?

Track Hurricane Bill / Stormpulse / Hurricanes, severe weather, tracking, mapping

Nope, not a Meteorologist.

That and I live over on the West coast, so no real worry about yearly hurricanes, just the occasional quake

 

[Bombila]

Hmm. At least quakes are of shorter duration than the average hurricane, so I guess that's a plus. OTOH... QUAKE!!!

Other than the Time I was in the Military(4 years) I've lived out in CA my whole life.
I've managed to miss every major Quake out here.

(How many Hurricanes have you been through ? )

Maybe a dozen have brushed past Nova Scotia in my lifetime, usually offshore or as a cat 1 in some other part of the province.

Juan in 2003, however, hit my area dead on as a cat 2, caused major destruction, particularly along the coast and in the coastal forest. Power was out 11 days here and through much of the area for at least a week. Many stretches of forest within ten km of my home were smashed flat, not a tree remained standing.

So I'm a touch nervous of Bill.

Wasn't there also one last year---maybe Kyle?---that also came close to you?

Yes, it affected the Yarmouth area, southern tip of the province, and headed into New Brunswick with heavy rains and winds as a tropical storm. It was a very fast moving storm. My area further east (about halfway up the east coast of NS) got little impact from that storm.
