00:00 Strong winds from post-tropical cyclone Lee continue here on Cape Sable Island,
00:05 and you can see a lot of the evidence from the storm surge as well.
00:08 We have big suns that are flying by from the surf,
00:11 and the winds have been gradually shifting from initially a southeasterly direction to due southerly,
00:17 to now more of a southwesterly direction as the center of the cyclone is approaching.
00:22 And the strong onshore winds are going to persist through multiple high tide cycles,
00:27 and so we expect the coastal flooding conditions to continue, and the occasional storm surge as well.
00:33 Winds have passed at over 70 miles an hour at times earlier near Bacaro Point,
00:38 and here they're definitely sustained above 50 miles an hour.
00:42 So as this hurricane underwent an extra-tropical transition, the wind field dramatically expanded,
00:48 and that's bringing the storm surge throughout the southern coastline of Nova Scotia,
00:53 all the way to Peggy's Cove on the southwest side of Halifax.
00:57 So big-time winds continue out here, continue to hammer the southwest side of Nova Scotia
01:03 as post-tropical cyclone Lee is approaching.
