Expect a serious storm when Earl comes to town: Hurricane Centre

Just one day before Hurricane Earl is expected to hit the Maritimes, the Canadian Hurricane Centre held a briefing, and although American forecasters are calling for Hurricane Earl to diminish as it makes its way to the Maritimes, Canadian forecasters are reluctant to say the same. While the Moncton area is under a tropical storm warning and rainfall and wind warnings with up to 70 mm of rainfall and wind gusts of 90 km per hour expected, parts of Nova Scotia are under a more severe hurricane watch.
