David Piano, an Ontario based photographer and storm chaser, is expected in Cape Breton to document the impact of Fiona. CONTRIBUTED FACEBOOKSYDNEY, N.S. — Storm chasers are coming to town. That’s a pretty good indication of the impacttouching down somewhere in Cape Breton as a hurricane or a tropical storm. And a number of weather professionals and adrenaline junkies are making their way to Nova Scotia to greet it.
“I haven’t seen any storm with a central pressure as low as this one in a long, long time,” said Robinson. “Now, it is really going to depend on how much of its tropical characteristics it will retain when it comes in. If it retains a lot of those tropical characteristics, you can have spectacular strong winds and full-on hurricane force, which I think we are going to be well above anyway.”
“There’s a whole ton of American chasers that are headed up to experience their first Nova Scotia hurricane,” he said. “There’s a bunch of chasers coming up. I think it is really amazing because a lot of people don’t realize that Canada gets hit by hurricanes and that Nova Scotia and the Maritimes are under these storms on a regular basis.”Josh Morgerman is a renowned storm chaser, TV host and businessman who has already chased down Fiona in the Dominican Republic.
He had already reached the core of Fiona, according to the post, early Monday morning in a tiny town in the Dominican Republic.Josh Morgerman is star of the television show ‘Hurricane Man’ on BBC Earth and other TV providers.

Catastrophic storm surge is likely due to the combined factor of high tide near the landfall timing.”
While Robinson is an admirer of big storms, he’s also an admirer of resilience and has noted that Nova Scotians have found an ability to bounce back from big storms and quickly.
