Hurricane Noel
Heading our way. Sounds like it may be nasty and they seem to be upgrading it from yesterday. I don't like the sounds of 150km/h wind gusts . I'm on my way to Moncton in a few minutes with a buddy who is running the marathon. Their forecast for similiar stuff plus 2-5cm of snow. We were going to take the G but I just called him and now the Subaru Outback is being put into service. 
Should be an interesting weekend. The hatches are battened down here now.

We are supposed to get the same weather here as well this weekend. Heavy rain along with wind gusts up to 120km/h. Needless to say, I am staying home today.
Stay safe going to Moncton Deane. If the weather gets really ugly, I am only an hour away and you are welcome to stay here.

^ Yeah, tropical storms and tail end of hurricanes are quite common here in the Maritimes. Deane in Dartmouth typically gets it a little worse than me I think.
you guys dont wanna know what a MAJOR hurricane is like
worst i've been in is a CAT 5 but I dont remember it as i was only 2 years old, but about 2 or 3 years ago a category 3 hit and it was not pretty.... with that said, hopefully those little remnants dont do much damage and you guys stay safe.

^ You're right bro, I definitely wouldn't want experience a CAT 5 hurricane. We can get some pretty nasty storms here on the east coast, however nothing what you guys can get down there.
