10:30pm Update: Earl's journey that started off the coast of Africa is almost complete as the system moves towards Newfoundland and Labrador. Winds are in the 75km/h range and the system is becoming extra tropical (loosing the tropical characteristics). In Halifax today and across Nova Scotia winds howled at hurricane force reaching over 120km/h with a peak gust to 135km/h. The winds tore down hundreds of trees and power lines leaving nearly 200,000 without power in the province. One death was attributed to the storm. I will have more, including photos from Nova Scotia tomorrow morning.
Here is a radar image of Earl as he nears the south coast of Nova Scotia between Lunenburg and Halifax within the last few hours.
11am Update: Selected Observations:I think I may have found where Earl made landfall on the Canadian coast. At 11am, Western Head, Nova Scotia south of Halifax reported a pressure of 963mb. The last reported pressure in the center of Earl was 965mb.
Peak wind speeds so far, Beaver Island, 103km/h, Halifax SE 74G 111km/h, McNabs Island, SE90 G 109km/h.
