Hurricane Kyle moved inland last night over Digby County, Nova Scotia before crossing the Bay of Fundy and hitting St. John, NB. The storm has been downgraded to an extra tropical cyclone and is now moving over PEI. Damage was very scattered with reports of trees down in Nova Scotia and power out to over 40,000 homes. Most has since been restored. Less than 50mm of rain was the average however 107mm fell at Grand Manan. The storm was moving rapidly so the poor weather was very short lived at any one location.
The following wind gusts were observed from various locations across Nova Scotia as of 3 AM ADT.
Yarmouth airport....................76 km/h
Baccaro Point..................... 124 km/h
Briar Island........................74 km/h
Western Head.......................102 km/h
Lunenburg...........................93 km/h
CFB Greenwood.......................76 km/h
MacNabs Island.....................102 km/h
Halifax Stanfield Int Airport.......91 km/h
Beaver Island.......................95 km/h
Les Suetes...Grand Etang...........106 km/h
Meanwhile Tropical Storm Laura has formed in the northern Atlantic well east of Cape Cod and will drift north northeast away from land over the next few days. She is only expected to affect the shipping lanes.
