We cats are very worried about the Canadian Maritimes tonight. Hurricane Fiona is bearing down on them, with landfall expected very early tomorrow morning, and it won't be pretty.
Fiona is predicted to make landfall as the strongest storm to hit Canada ever — mostly because the oceans have warmed enough to keep it at its highest intensity in the North Atlantic. Climate skeptics, take note.
"Weather models continue to indicate that Fiona will make landfall in eastern Nova Scotia early Saturday morning and will produce very heavy rainfall, severe winds and storm surge," reports the Canadian Hurricane Centre. We cats wait and watch in hope. And in support, we PURR.
UPDATE: As it approached Nova Scotia, Fiona's pressure was down to 928 mb. "No hurricane has ever made landfall with such a low pressure north of Florida since 1851," meteorologist Craig CeeCee tweeted. "That shows how intense the storm is — truly once in a lifetime."
