We just went out and had fun making this for people that never saw what did to South Shore of Queen's County!
Hurricane Earl draws its fierce energy from a seasonal recipe of wind, moist air and warm water, but the combination this year of record warm tropical waters in the Atlantic Ocean and a cooling La Niña current in the tropical Pacific Ocean is fueling an especially active hurricane season, several research meteorologists said Thursday.
HALIFAX—The remnants of hurricane Earl made landfall down the coast from Halifax on Saturday, toppling trees and bringing down power lines as the storm barrelled through the Maritimes.
The storm was classified as a tropical storm at noon local time, although the Canadian Hurricane Centre said the difference between a hurricane and tropical storm is wind speeds of only eight kilometres an hour.
Forecaster Chris Fogarty said an offshore buoy recorded wind speeds of 120 kilometres per hour on Saturday morning.
The storm, fuelled in part by air and sea temperatures warmer than normal, brought heavy sheets of rain and swift gusts.
Fogarty said Earl was expected to track over the middle of Nova Scotia throughout the day, though the winds at the center of the storm weren't as fierce.
