Below is a time trace of air pressure, wind speed and wind gusts at George's Bank Buoy
near the Gulf of Maine. The wind units are in meters per second. In more
common units, the highest wind recorded by the buoy was 82 gusting 108
km/h - similar to what was experienced over much of Nova Scotia.
Next is a time trace of sig-wave heights in meters at the George's Bank Buoy. The
sig-waves got up to 14 meters or 46 feet! The peak waves were measured over
70 feet (height of a 7-storey building)! No wonder there was so much beach
damage!
And finally a map of the sig-waves around Eastern Canada the morning of the
storm, showing 10-meter (30+ feet) along most of the Atlantic Coast of Nova
Scotia.
