Well it looks like we are in the path of Hurricane Bill. This one is of concern because we have a large warm mass over the area and it going delay its transitioning to an post tropical storm. he might hit the area as Category 1 or 2.
We should have more info when it starts his turn...

Its all over... Hurricane Bill gave us breezy rainy day with no damage. Bill was more bluster than punch. In Nova Scotia about 48000 people lost power. As precaution I secured my place by putting all loose items in the garage.. With these things you can't be careful enough.

Speaking of things blowing around...Here's a shot i took from my phone of a severe thunderstorm in progress while we were under a tornado warning...I was doing a live broadcast from the cable TV company (which had to be cut short)...There for a few minutes it seemed like the end could be nigh.
You can see bits of trees and leaves being blown around in this pic.

The noise must be frightening. Keep your heads down team!
What's a category 1 or 2 ?
Cheers, Mike.

Thanks Mike we have another 3 months to go this season and its been relatively quiet so far this year. Normally we should be up to 'M' in named storms..

Well there's plenty of risk there. In the southern areas of Australia we don't have hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons ( or tornados ) per se. In terms of wind speed the closest we get are occasional 'Southerly Busters', vicious storms straight from Antarctica full of ice and snow, which aren't of a specific cyclonic nature.
Are purpose built shelters on domestic blocks common?
Cheers, Mike.

Sounds like you get what we would call a nor' easter which form off the coast of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina.. Here they can be as powerful as a Cat 1 or 2 hurricane but they happen in the winter when the trees are not full of leaves and act like sails. But they can dump a tremendous amount of snow which makes winters here enjoyable..:-)
If I understand
Housing structures in the Southern US are built on cement blocks without full basements. Here in the Maritimes of Canada and NE US we have full basements and much sturdier structures because of our winters.
