Index of Subjects --0050450176e6379fb40471a7995e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I find it fascinating to read the small print about these storms, and to follow their tracks on the various weather web sites. Most of them eventually point to the NOAA storm/ hurricane info., and what they're currnetly saying is that the Bill is now becoming less organised, although before it reaches cooler waters (i.e. ours) the wind strength could increase again. But because of the low over the Great Lakes Bill is likely to veer off on more NE-erly track by the time it is in our vicinity, and as the heaviest rain is generally to the west, and the strongest winds to the east, NS is likely to see a lot of rain, and perhaps not such violent winds. I would guess that late Monday or Tues. off the Canso area would be the best time to look for Tropicbirds, Sooty Terns, Bermuda Petrels etc.. Anyway, lets hope that people and birds remain safe, and that we are all well prepared for whatever comes our way!
