Hurricane Earl is on its way to the Maritimes and a tropical storm warning is in effect in Moncton. Hurricane Earl will bring strong winds and heavy rain to much of the Maritimes and the people of Moncton are urged to be prepared. It’s advised that people should bring in anything laying around the yard that could be blown away during the storm. As we can remember when Hurricane Juan hit Halifax Nova Scotia back on September 28/29 , 2003 it left quite a bit of damage in its path. It’s unsure how Hurricane Earl will impact the Maritimes as of yet but we’ll soon find out Saturday morning when it arrives. Moncton is expected to receive heavy rainfall amounts 30-40 mm and high winds from Hurricane Earl.
When any hurricane storm warning goes into effect people should take these warnings serious. People should have enough supplies on hand such as food and water to last up to 72 hours just in case we lose electricity. You can buy 72 hour emergency and survival kits pretty much anywheres online or you can make up one up yourself. Knowing how to make up your own personal emergency kit could save your life during any natural disasters, hurricanes, storms etc. Being prepared for anything is your best way at survival during any situation. Plan ahead!
Hurricane Earl draws near and we’ll soon see how strong of a tropical storm this one really is. Moncton prepares for Hurricane Earl as we all track its path to see what category level storm is coming our way.
