140MPH winds on the periphery of the eye.

Every now and again there are birds flying around. You'd think that they would cancel their flight plans:)

[gness]

We get some strong, scary winds here which I hate. Facing that would terrify me.

I’ve been caught in a hurricane and it is pretty scary. Fascinating to see the preparation for its arrival though. All. clever stuff.

[Zacs-Master]

A policeman has just, very sensibly, gone onto the pier and told everyone to move back.

[pastafreak]

I hope it won't, but I expect it will head up the East coast in a few days. I'll be keeping my eye on it.
I see it's caused a total electricity outage in Cuba.

[naomi24]

Bet the policeman really needs sightseers around. Potty people!

[Toorak]

There were two people down on the beach a few minutes ago :-(

[Zacs-Master]

It's due to track across Florida, Pasta, and weaken (as they do when crossing land).

[sanmac]

They seemed to be jogging.

[naomi24]

If they don’t shift themselves they’ll very soon be flying!

If I lived in that part of the USA I might very well have become a storm chaser!

And Fiona's out in the Atlantic somewhere according to one of my friends who is cruising in that area (keeping us updated on Facebook).

[jno]

they're expecting another one on the Canadian Atlantic coast, having just had one. That's a huge distance north.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, there's a 1002 low off the coast of Newfoundland & Labrador province.

[pastafreak]

It's that time of the year :(

Ian is no name for a hurricane.

To paraphrase Victoria Wood, "It's like having a member of the Royal Family called Enid"

[jno]

I can remember people being alarmed because Felix was heading as far north as DC (at the same time as I was!)

And now they're heding for Labrador?

[sanmac]

I just looked again and that pier is almost submerged...It must really be well-constructed.
