Depending on the jet stream one or more of them might head up the coast for NS. Hopefully that doesn't happen. I wasn't here for Hurricane Juan a few years ago but the city lost a ton of old trees.

Last fall we had Tropical Storm Noel and had winds around 130 km/h. We lost a few rows of siding on the back of the house. One of the pieces swung down like an axe and chopped off the porch light just as I opened the patio door to see what was happening . It was pretty scary just sitting on our stairs (didn't have furniture since we just moved in) from about 1am - at least noon and feeling totally helpless as the house was creaking, the siding was banging, and wondering if a tree was going to come down on the house. We're surrounded by trees but there are 2 large spruce that are as tall as the house and about 20 feet from it that had quite the bend on them. Somehow they didn't break though.
