Wow! What a wild ride on my earlier post on Kyle! Just back 15-minutes ago...from our 'Green Mountain Expe'
Well, Kyle is now a full-blown hurricane, and it's about to clip both Cape Cod, and it looks like perhaps Maine coast somewhere from Belfast on up to New Brunswick (Canada)...
Monitor your emergency radio channel with one ear if you live along the Coast, and good luck to those in any affected areas!
Cheers,

Thanks for posting... keep us informed. You are batting a very good average on your predictions.
So, landfall NB will be about 4 a.m. on the 29th, Monday. It is affecting us all now. Where I am, I'm getting a lot of cloud and not much rain.
Tri Counties NS Google Map of Yarmouth, Shelburne, & Digby Counties are being said to take the worst winds. They're talking of storm surge in those 3 counties (Yarmouth Tides are 14'-15'). & uprooted trees. Plus, in Digby County, Annapolis orchards are trying to pick what apples they can as fast as they can.
Lubec, ME tides are 27'-28' normally.
Maine is on the weaker side of the wind. I know they got a good 4" of precip. in Connecticut yesterday.
NB is also on the weaker side of the rain. They are hoping it will become post tropical when it hits land.
NOAA are calling this a fast moving storm. Not per the way Hannah came through, but then again Kyle doesn't seem to have the heavy water Hannah had. I think it's only getting faster than it was.
I'm east of it all, but too new to this area after 24.5 years in Newfoundland to be sure. I ain't driving nowheres tomorrow nohow.
Anyone in the areas/regions she has discussed should keep an ear out (NOAA/Canadian) on weather radio emergency frequencies.
The only thing I'd add, is: if you are along the coast from Mass all the way up to Nova Scotia, be very alert for tidal surge. In fact, I'd say that getting too close to the seaside could be downright dangerous till this thing passes...
You will be able to see the wind speed, direction, barometric pressure changes and wind direction changes as it moves Northward thru the Gulf of Maine and into the Fundy region.
Also wave height etc. you will see the winds go around the compass as the storm moves thru the buoy areas....
If you like some real storms come here in the winter when we serve up one of our big Nor'Easters.....
This will come and go like a flash in the frying pan...
Well, we will pull in the gear and hove to for the night maybe!!!!!!!!!
Well, we're very close to the projected path of this storm. However, nothing
yet, just clouds and intermittent rain (not hard). We've spent the weekend
picking up anything which may take flight and have water/flashlights, etc.
on hand and are ready for a rough day tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Saint John closed down the airport today and friends were due
to leave for Toronto at 7pm. They are now booked for Moncton to Hamilton
tomorrow at 5pm or so. I'm hoping we will be able to drive to Moncton (l l/2
hrs) tomorrow and the airport is open.
We have not had a bad storm like this for years and not looking forward to
the clean up.
I'm a bit disappointed in the Canadian Weather Network as to the reports of
this storm. We are hungry for a visual report and late morning/early
afternoon reports were pitiful in projected paths, etc. CTV had some reports
but nothing much in depth any time I checked in.
