Juan formed southeast of Bermuda on September 24, 2003 out of a tropical wave that tracked into the subtropical Atlantic Ocean. It strengthened gradually in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, reaching Category 2 strength on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale on September 27 while continuing to track northward. It peaked at 105 mph (165 km/h) as it rapidly approached the coast of Nova Scotia, losing little intensity over the cooler waters. Juan made landfall on the coast of the Halifax Regional Municipality early on September 29 while still a Category 2 hurricane, and remained a hurricane across Nova Scotia and onto Prince Edward Island, weakening to a tropical storm over the island. It was absorbed by another extratropical low later on September 29 near Anticosti Island in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

The storm left extensive damage across central Nova Scotia and into Prince Edward Island, with lesser damage east and west of the storm centre. Most of the damage was as a result of the high winds that whipped across the region. Juan resulted in eight fatalities and over $200 million (2003 USD) in damage. It was described as the worst storm to hit Halifax since 1893.^[1][2] ISO 4217 Code USD User(s) the United States, the British Indian Ocean Territory,[1] the British Virgin Islands, Cambodia, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the insular areas of the United States Inflation 2. ...

Storm history

Storm path

A large tropical wave accompanied by a broad area of low pressure moved off the coast of Africa on September 14, 2003. It moved westward,^[3] and due to unfavourable upper level wind shear the system remained disorganized.^[4] On September 20, while the wave was located about 690 miles (1100 km) east of the Lesser Antilles, convection around the system greatly increased while interacting with the circulation of a large upper-level low, though unfavourable conditions caused it to remain disorganized. The system as a whole moved to the northwest around the upper-level low and developed a mid-level circulation. It interacted with a frontal zone,^[3] and became better organized on September 23 while located 450 miles (725 km) south of Bermuda.^[5] Later that day, a low-level circulation developed within the system, though its involvement with a nearby frontal zone prevented it being classified a tropical depression. Deep convection increased near the centre on September 24, and it quickly organized to develop banding features and a distinct outflow. Based on its organization, it is estimated the system developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen later that day while located about 345 miles (555 km) southeast of Bermuda. Operationally, the National Hurricane Center did not begin issuing advisories until 27 hours after it actually formed.^[3] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1024x719, 476 KB) Summary Hurricane Juan (2003) track. ...

Initially, the depression possessed tropical and subtropical characteristics; it maintained attachment to a nearby frontal zone, though the organization of the convection and a warm core within the system resulted in classification as a tropical cyclone. Forecasters predicted the depression would only slowly strengthen and reach a peak intensity of 65 mph (105 km/h).^[6] However, the depression steadily organized and strengthened into Tropical Storm Juan early on September 25.^[3] Later that day, the centre of circulation became embedded within the convection. Juan moved northwestward at around 10 mph (16 km/h), a motion due to the presence of a developing subtropical ridge to its east.^[7] On September 26, an eye featured developed, and very deep convection developed near the circulation.^[8] The cloud pattern continued to organize, and Juan attained hurricane status later on the 26th while located 165 miles (270 km) southeast of Bermuda.^[3] As the hurricane moved into an area of warm waters and light wind shear, it strengthened and organized further, and on September 27 Juan attained a peak intensity of 105 mph (165 km/h) while located 635 miles (1020 km) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Juan at landfall

Hurricane Juan remained at peak intensity for over 24 hours. After moving northwestward for an extended period of time, it turned and accelerated to the north.^[3] On September 28, the eye became less distinct, and the hurricane weakened slightly. Due to its fast forward motion, it had little time to weaken over significant colder waters,^[10] and Juan made landfall near Halifax on September 29 with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). It weakened quickly while moving over the Canadian Maritimes, quickly crossing Nova Scotia as a hurricane, downgrading to a tropical storm as it crossed over Prince Edward Island early that morning. Later that day, Tropical Storm Juan was absorbed by a large extratropical storm in the northwestern Gulf of Saint Lawrence.^[3] Image File history File links Juan_at_landfall03. ...

Preparations

The first advisories were given by the Canadian Hurricane Centre on September 26, although at that time there were only broad details suggesting the possibility existed for wind and rain across Atlantic Canada.^[11] On September 27, as Juan approached, warning broadcasts on local media in Atlantic Canada were changed accordingly, and the public and emergency officials in the expected landfall area were told to make preparations for a potential disaster, as the CHC bulletins indicated the possibility existed for significant wind damage and flooding from both heavy rain and storm surges, as well as power outages.^[12] The Canadian Hurricane Centre operated by Environment Canada exists to advise Canadians on the threat of hurricanes and tropical storms. ...

On the morning of September 28, the latest reports indicated that Juan would make landfall either as a tropical storm or marginal Category 1 hurricane.^[13] Weather broadcasts up to that time gave every indication that the storm would weaken prior to landfall. By 6 p.m. ADT (2100 UTC), additional warnings were issued, as Juan was expected to make landfall as a strong Category 1 or weak Category 2 hurricane.^[14] Most businesses in the areas affected were at the time closed on Sundays, which meant that preparations could not be made at the last minute.^[15] September 28 is the 271st day of the year (272nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Hurricane Juan's maximum sustained wind speed at landfall in Nova Scotia was measured at 100 mph (160 km/h).^[3] The urban concentration surrounding Halifax Harbour bore the brunt of the highest sustained winds and strongest wind gusts during the storm; some unofficial estimates have placed gusts as high as 145 mph (230 km/h).^[17] Wave-rider weather buoys off the entrance of Halifax Harbour snapped their moorings after reportedly recording waves in excess of 65 ft (20 metres). Significant erosion occurred on the populated shores of the harbour, particularly in the Bedford Basin where residential properties and railway tracks received most of the wave action. Storm surges of 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2 m) were reported in the harbour; it was the highest surge ever recorded in Halifax Harbour.^[18] Rainfall was fairly light due to the fast movement and dry air on the southern side of the storm. There were no rainfall reports greater than 2 inches (52 mm).^[19] Image File history File links Barringtonhurricane. ... Image File history File links Barringtonhurricane. ...

Juan caused widespread damage across the region, particularly in and around the Halifax Regional Municipality. Extensive damage to trees was reported, which blocked many streets and knocked down power lines. Many homes and businesses suffered structural damage, particularly roof damage, and some weaker structures were destroyed.^[1] HRM estimated that 31% of homes suffered some degree of damage and 27% of homes had enough damage to warrant an insurance claim.^[20] In downtown Halifax, boulders the size of garbage cans were hurled from Halifax Harbour onto the streets. The large Victoria General Hospital was also damaged and evacuated during the storm, as were numerous apartment buildings and other multi-family residences.^[21] Billboards and signs were also destroyed, and many vehicles were crushed by trees and other debris.^[1] Coastal flooding was also reported around Halifax Harbour as a result of the storm surge,^[18] although inland flooding was minor as rainfall was not heavy due to Juan's fast forward movement.^[1] Motto: E Mari Merces(Latin) From the Sea, Wealth Coordinates: Country Canada Province Nova Scotia Established April 1, 1996  - Mayor Peter Kelly  - Governing body Halifax Regional Council  - MPs Alexa McDonough, Geoff Regan, Michael Savage, Peter Stoffer, (Bill Casey), (Gerald Keddy), (Peter MacKay)  - MLAs Barry Barnet, Keith Colwell, Kevin Deveaux, Darrell...

Less severe property damage was recorded west of the storm's track into St. Margaret's Bay and Mahone Bay. In addition to Halifax Regional Municipality's urban core, the town of Truro was also in the main path of the storm and experienced significant property damage.^[1] The severity of property damage in the metropolition areas of Halifax and Dartmouth of Halifax Regional Municipality initially led some forecasters to believe that Juan was likely a Category 3 hurricane; however, the sustained wind reports did not justify that suggestion. Many of the deciduous trees in central Nova Scotia still had leaves, which magnified the effects of wind damage.^[22] Overall, the number of damaged trees was estimated to be in the millions.^[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 450 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (768 × 1024 pixel, file size: 462 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Lana Walker (myself). ...

Juan left more than 700,000 people without power in Nova Scotia. It took up to two weeks to restore power to the hardest hit rural areas of Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore and the Musquodoboit River valley.^[1] Nova Scotia Power reported that 27 main transmission lines, 31 substations and 117 distribution feeders were damaged by the storm, plus several transmission towers.^[20] 70% of the trees in Halifax's Point Pleasant Park were destroyed, fundamentally changing the character of the large urban park.

Preparations and planning have been underway since 2003 and were first tested when Hurricane Ophelia was forecast to brush near Nova Scotia in early September 2005.^[34] Hurricane Juan has also resulted in several changes to the Meteorological Service of Canada's Canadian Hurricane Centre, which has relocated from a vulnerable and exposed office building in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to a more secure location that can withstand hurricane damage. CHC's hurricane warning system has also been improved; traditionally, CHC did not issue standard hurricane or tropical storm watches or warnings, just high wind and heavy rainfall warnings, which were often not heeded by local residents. Beginning in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season, CHC began using standard hurricane warnings for storms potentially affecting Canada.^[35] the NHCs archive on Hurricane Ophelia the Canadian Hurricane Centres public advisories on Hurricane Ophelia. ...

Because of its effects in Canada, the name Juan was retired in April 2004 and will never again be used for an Atlantic hurricane. Environment Canada noted that its request for retirement was "in consideration of the lost and damaged lives, the impact to economy, and the widespread destruction of trees through out two provinces".^[36] It was the first time that the Meteorological Service of Canada had specifically requested a hurricane name be retired;^[37] most hurricanes which have affected Canada in the past had previously caused damage elsewhere, usually along the US East Coast. The name was replaced by Joaquin for the 2009 season.^[38] The names Jaime and Jorge were also suggested as possible replacement names.^[39] Atlantic hurricane refers to a tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, usually in the Northern Hemisphere summer or autumn. ...
