Hurricane Bill is expected to be felt here in Halifax in less than 72 hours. The question appears now to have gone from "if" to "how bad" – most local media is now reporting that we will feel the effects of Bill.  Consensus puts the arrival sometime on Sunday afternoon.  We should know more late in the day today.
