1/ If you live on the Avalon Peninsula, I would suggest getting prepared for hurricane #ERNESTO. All the global models are showing a landfall, possibly at hurricane intensity, on Monday night.
While this track may yet shift, it's a good time to be prepared.
#NLStorm





2/ #ERNESTO is currently a large Category 1 hurricane, with max winds of 75 knots, or 140 km/h. Its large size is slowing its intensification, however it means that impacts will be felt over a wide area.
It is likely to affect Bermuda as a Cat 2 on Sat AM.

Some photographs of the damage from Hurricane #FIONA. Trees down everywhere! Running an Alaskan mill to make boards out of some of the trees blown down by #FIONA. If you choose to do this, make sure you have a board cutting chain, otherwise your boards will turn out very rough!

I bet at least *some* of you have checked TropicalTidbits.com or windy.com and seen the 0Z Euro -- a Cat 3 hurricane (#FIONA) making landfall near St Margarets Bay next Sat AM.
Before you say "we're doomed" let me explain a bit. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx (1/x) This is only ONE of several possible solutions. The other two major global models (GFS and CMC) show solutions that are either weaker (CMC) or much farther east (GFS).

Alright, folks, where did I take these photographs? #NaturePhotography #Spring #Lake #Brook I'm sure lots of you would have had all kinds of guesses, but I am also sure none of you would have had "an island off the Eastern Shore" as your answer.
Here's the zoomed out version of the image I showed previously.
All the photos were taken on Wolfe's Island. #NovaScotia

This is going to be controversial, but here goes.
Although I do believe in #GenderEquality, I don't consider myself to be a #feminist.
I will explain the reasons why in this thread... (1/x) First let's look at the Meriam-Webster definition of the word...

"[A] belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests."

Alright: today's the day.
I'm going to use the #CanSIPS to try and figure out some of the puzzle pieces of the #HurricaneSeason, which starts in 14 days.
First thing to notice: NO El Nino. The equatorial Pacific is coolish, & the Atlantic is warm.
El Nino suppresses hurricanes.🧵 Next: there's lots of rising motion over the Indian Ocean (green colour) and sinking motion over the Eastern Pacific (red colour).
That leads to more robust tropical waves coming off Africa, which have a higher chance of developing into tropical cyclones.
