For your live viewing pleasure… our front lawn

I have been fiddling with my webcam today and I have set it up so it will updated every 60 seconds for you hurricane watchers and enthusiasts.

It is pointed out of my office window on the first storey of our house.

So you can now watch our weather, as we see it, until the power or wireless internet go down.

Right now, there is nothing to see, except a spider who keeps walking across the window. If the hurricane follows its forecast path, rain and wind will pick up on Friday night.

I have a low light booster turned on so you can see some things at night.

If you want way better action (since we’re not on the coast), you see can several very high quality webcams at http://www.novascotiawebcams.com (including cams from Peggy’s Cove, Halifax Harbour, Bay of Fundy, Digby, and Cape Breton).

Oh good – “Cannibalism is rarely necessary”

From a list of Do’s & Don’ts when a hurricane comes to Nova Scotia:

“Don’t get a mohawk and an old lead pipe, strap yourself into some motorcycle leathers or latex, form a post-apocalyptic survival gang with your friends and family to hunt down, kill and eat your neighbours. A hurricane is not that big a deal in Atlantic Canada. Most will get away unscathed, with property damage or a bit of flooding the worst of it. The rain will stop and the sun will come out eventually—the day after Juan was gorgeous and sunny. Cannibalism is rarely necessary.”

Hurricane Earl’s track has shifted slightly to the west. Lots of different models to look at. Canada’s Hurricane Centre have the track further east than the US’s. Storm warnings will be issued tomorrow!
