After hitting the east coast of the United States, from New Jersey to New York state, Hurricane Sandy is heading towards Canada and is expected to reach Montreal soon.
Where exactly is Hurricane Sandy, at least the eye of the storm? This is one of the questions that obsessed North American meteorologists since yesterday. One thing is certain: after causing considerable damage to New York and killed at least 13 during its passage in the United States, the strong winds move towards Canada and Montréal should be affected very soon. The strongest gusts are expected to blow along the St. Lawrence River, between the cities of Montreal and Quebec. Flooding and coastal overflows are expected in places as the cyclone nears the North Atlantic coast. Hurricane Sandy’s route is expected to end in the North Atlantic Ocean after having flown over the so-called “Maritime” provinces of Canada.
Boulevards transformed into torrents, flooded subways, halls of submerged buildings … While New York was totally paralyzed, the storm hit southern Ontario at the same time on Monday evening. It is currently moving along the St. Lawrence Valley. According to forecasts, Sandy was to spill 20 to 50 millimeters in the most exposed Quebec provinces. But beyond the rains and the risk of flooding, experts seem above all to fear strong winds. In New York, for example, the entire facade of a building was torn off by the gusts yesterday. After having done extensive damage on the entire northeast coast of the USA, Sandy will have lost its vigor according to forecasts, but the gusts could reach or even exceed 100 km /, while night has fallen for several hours. in Quebec.
