During the last month, Mother Nature has unleashed three devastating hurricanes upon the Gulf Coast and Caribbean islands – Hanna, Gustav and Ike. And now, she’s setting her sights on New England and America Jr. Canada.

According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Kyle, which is presently sitting near Bermuda, is moving northwest towards Massachusetts and Maine, and it will eventually head into Canada, drenching our neighbors to the north and potentially submerging the entire upper portion of North America beneath the ocean.

OK – maybe it’s not going to be that catastrophic, but Kyle is intensifying as it moves along its projected path.

Bloomberg reports:

Kyle's maximum sustained winds strengthened to 60 miles (95 kilometers) an hour from 50 mph late yesterday, the center said in an advisory posted on its Web site at about 8 a.m. Miami time. The system was centered 500 miles south-southwest of Bermuda and heading north at 12 mph.

“Interests in the northeastern United States and the Canadian Maritimes region should closely monitor the progress of Kyle during the next couple of days,” the advisory said.

 

The hurricane center's three-day forecast shows Kyle strengthening into a hurricane early tomorrow over the open Atlantic west of Bermuda, before weakening again to a storm and striking Nova Scotia sometime between Sept. 28 and 29.

In other words, Doomsday arrives next week. Brace yourselves, ladies and gents!

Or -- better yet -- start praying Kyle loses steam and/or shifts direction before it's too late.
