This could work to my advantage.

We'll see.

Its A cat 4 now and there is nothing to slow it down but the island of
Nova Scotia. I'd be screwing everything I own to the ground, if I were
Donny.

Our cold water will weaken it. The strongest one I can remember hitting here
was a low Cat 2 in 2003...Hurricane Juan.
Our mature city trees took a beating, although my hugh Lindens stood up to
it.

The NHS still has that coming into Nova Scotia at a 2 so Don should be
picking up the loose stuff around the house.
I don't suppose they do shutters and such up there.

If you lose a window you will get water damage that has to be seen to
be believed. Even with a Cat II. Will there be a plywood shortage?

That's just Flatulent Jim expelling his vast geographical knowledge.
I think the sea would have to rise 10 or so feet to make us an island.

Whether NS is an island or not is no concern to flajim, since he doesn't
have a boat and has no need to consult a chart or a map.

I suppose that is a northern thing.
Here in the tropics we have storms that would blow that skinny little
finger of land away. It is common to have people wake up after a storm
and find a new pass where a solid stretch of land used to be.
On the other hand the two islands a few miles away might be one big
one now. At any rate I hope Bill takes it easy on you folks. Be safe.


Thanks...the local surfers are already chomping at the bit for a chance at
really big waves (by this areas standards)

Apparently you missed the Al Gore movie. It'll probably happen this
century, when the sea level rises twenty-two feet due to mankind.
