Kyle turned into a Hurricane as it headed up the eastern Atlantic Saturday afternoon.
Gustav and Ike caused trouble in the south and now Kyle in Maine :( -- Ed.
MIAMI - National Hurricane Center forecasters say Hurricane Kyle has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and it's expected to pass near eastern New England.
Kyle had top sustained winds near 75 mph Saturday afternoon. The storm is moving north in the open Atlantic at 23 mph and could make landfall anywhere from Maine to Nova Scotia.
A hurricane watch is in effect for the Maine coast from Stonington north to Eastport. Hurricane conditions are possible in that area within 36 hours.
A tropical storm warning is in effect from Port Clyde south to Cape Elizabeth, an area that includes Portland.
At 5 p.m. EDT, the storm's center was located about 315 miles west-northwest of Bermuda.
"Hurricane season isn't over, " said Maine Emergency Management Agency director Rob McAleer. "It's been a very active season."
It was Maine's first hurricane watch in 17 years, the National Weather Service said. Elsewhere in New England, a hurricane warning was posted for Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts in September 1996, according to the weather service office in Taunton, Mass.
Two to 4 inches of rain had already fallen along some coastal areas by midday Saturday and the storm was expected to deliver an additional 2 to 4 inches, said Eric Schwibs of the weather service in Gray.
Kyle's center was forecast to be near eastern New England or the Canadian Maritime provinces late Sunday, the hurricane center said.
Kyle could make landfall near Eastport, possibly late Sunday, the hurricane center said… http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/27/hurricane-kyle-forms-in-open-ocean-maine-on-wat-1/
