Operator Notes
Preparations for Hurricane EARL:
At it's current projected course we will start to see the affects of EARL in the early morning hours of Saturday, winds picking up through Friday night, with the major winds hitting somewhere between 5am and 12noon. This storm seems to be going to cut right through the middle of the Maritimes, so we can expect widespread power outages in all 3 Maritime provinces.
Update: 12:00noon Friday
Hurricane watches are posted for portions of Nova Scotia from Digby down to Yarmouth and up to Halifax county and areas inland for the possibility of hurricane-force wind gusts (120 to 130 km/h). Gusts of this speed would cause tree branches and limbs to break and some trees to come down. That would result in downed utility lines and related power failures. There would also be some damage to signage ..Roofing materials and building cladding. Wave impacts at the coast in the hurricane watch area could lead to some beach erosion and Damage to infrastructure..Although the tides are running lowe (neap) and the arrival time may be near low tide.
