Even for a region used to bad weather, this forecast is off the charts bad. Fiona will likely be a generational storm for Nova Scotia.

Gordon Lightfoot has left us. There’s something about Canada and Gordons.. This is a photo of him alongside fellow Gords Downie and Pinsent. Pinsent then painted the image. All gone now. To quote Mr. Lightfoot, “If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.” #GordanLightfoot

Update from our geomatics researchers. The satellite image on the left shows the wildfires in Shelburne on May 28, the image on the right shows how much it's grown in only a few days, pretty scary. The rain can't come soon enough. #ShelburneFire #ShelburneCounty #AGRG

A storm surge warning (and hurricane watch) in effect for the Atlantic coast of Mainland NS... higher water levels with large waves breaking onshore could cause catastrophic damage to exposed infrastructure. The wave chart for tomorrow morning is threatening...

HRDPS model suggests parts of Nova Scotia, from near Shelburne to Canso, including Halifax/Dartmouth, will gusts exceeding 100 km/h and in some areas approaching hurricane force (120 km/h). This will occur during the afternoon and evening hours on Saturday. Parts of PEI may also

Looks like the centre of #Lee May go west of western Nova Scotia!
