Yay, a USA miss. But, those poor people in Atlantic Canada. A hurricane isn't something that happens everyday up there, so I think this is major cause for concern.
Please read:
During Juan, mandatory evacuates were in place for parts of Halifax County, but not many left. People don't have to evacuate often, and there would not be much media attention about this because Canada is just that way. It will not sound as bad as it could be, and people are just stubborn to leave. If it takes an aim for Halifax, then you better start praying. If it is a major hurricane, or strong category two, you are going to get "I, and my house, survived Juan.". It's a totally different situation, Juan is our Camille.
If this thing is a category 3 even if it hits Atlantic Canada that could be a serious problem. That is our Katrina or NYC impact. There could be a huge loss of life too, let alone property damage. If the Avalon Peninsula took a hit that could even be catastrophic because it is all rocks and valleys up there, there is no soil. The rain would flood everything, and the buildings would be blown to bits since everyone lives in 1920s shacks on concrete blocks.
Florence deserves major interest, I wouldn't be "praising God" for a hurricane right now, because Canada is not prepared for hurricanes.

The Bermuda High is shifted way to far to the East for this time of the year. Every storm that forms out in the Eastern Atlantic will be a fish. I thought Dr. Gray forecasted the Eastern seaboard a high percentage chance this year of getting some TS or Hurricanes. Looks like he came out with one bogus forecast for Hurricane season 2006.

last I checked, the East Coast just was hit very hard by a very strong tropical storm... and New England, especially Maine, it not in the clear from this thing.
If Florence were to hit Halifax, Maine would receive very strong winds due to its size. Maine is also a place not prepared that well for hurricanes

It is true about people in New England not being prepared for a hurricane. Most of the people that live here in Rhode Island are so complacent, because they've never even lived through a strong hurricane. The coastline is so built up now it would be a catastrophe, because I think many people wouldn't evacuate out of sheer ignorance. I hope Flo stays away!!!
