Hurricane Kyle Buffets New England and Maritimes October 3, 2008
Outer bands of weakening Hurricane Kyle can be seen drenching New England. The storm's center is visible moving to the west of Halifax late in the sequence.
An area of disturbed weather that brought floods to Puerto Rico and Hispaniola for three days eventually strengthened into Hurricane Kyle over the western Atlantic.

The storm passed between Bermuda and the Atlantic Seaboard before losing force and drenching New England and Atlantic Canada.

Kyle prompted the issuance of Maine’s first hurricane watch in 17 years, but it lost force before skirting Bar Harbor and moving into the Bay of Fundy.

The storm was still a Category 1 hurricane when it began to lash the sparsely populated area of southwestern Nova Scotia.

The Globe and Mail reports that Kyle’s winds tore up trees, knocked down power lines and swamped at least one boat in Nova Scotia.
