Mark - At least you are on the west side of the track of Hurricane Earl!Surfers are swarming our beaches as waves are to 3m high, that's caused by the passing of H. Danielle to our south a few days ago. Water temp is circa 22c. It's smoking hot here, 30c yesterday and today, I was inland yesterday and it was 33c. Last night's low here was 24c, very unusual for the coast and felt quite tropical - scent of flowers was overwhelming. Seems like the perfect scenario for Hurricane hit. Desperately needing the rain.Let's hope this nasty one veers further east as they are hinting today.johnw
Interesting they still call it a hurricane that far north.

Both Canada and USA have "National Hurricane Centres" ...... is it not only in the Indian Ocean and the Southern hemisphere that such storms are mostly referred to as cyclones rather than hurricanes or typhoons? Best of luck to all those of you at risk from this fierce weather..... it has certainly stopped my typically British whinging about our weather ( well, for the moment, at least )

Mark - the hottest day I have ever witnessed here 33c here though our shaded thermometers in the yard read 37. I may sleep in the car tonight (with air-conditioning). You may mean Saint John, New Brunswick.johnw
