Hurricane Noel is expected to hit Nova Scotia tomorrow. According to the Globe and Mail, "Canadian meteorologists think the hurricane will lose enough strength by the time it reaches Canada to be downgraded to a severe post-tropical storm, but they warn that it will still pack a punch with intense rains and strong winds."
Isn't that weird? (For a west coast kid, anyways...) It was briefly mentioned in the paper this morning, and I did take notice that tomorrow's weather is going to be terrible. My preparation: I will get some groceries after work (since I'm out of food anyways), and at lunch I picked up some magazines and DVDs from the library. My clue that this is out of my league: All of the engineers at work are talking about bringing in lawn furniture, tieing down BBQs, etc.
I think tomorrow is going to be a bit of a write-off, but I'll keep you posted. (Maybe I'll finally get some photos from Cape Breton on the blog!)
And it's too bad that Steve's in Saint John right now*, cause there's probably big waves today. I think the swell typically arrives before the storm and bad weather, so today is probably a good surfing day. (Tomorrow... Not so much!)
*I probably haven't mentioned this: Steve went to Saint John, NB after our trip for an eight-week internal medicine rotation. It's less than ideal, but two of his anesthesia classmates are there with him, so that's good. I'm going to head out next weekend to visit him and check the city out.
