September 2008 - Northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes don't often get to experience the weather associated with a tropical storm or hurricane, but on September 28 Hurrican Kyle made its way through the Gulf of Maine and headed towards the Bay of Fundy. The Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS) has buoys in the Gulf of Maine, and it publishes real-time conditions from its buoys and from complimentary NOAA buoys on its web site.
GoMOOS' buoy N, south of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, is here:

NOAA's buoy on Georges Bank, even farther south of GoMOOS buoy N, is here:

Yellahoose principal Jim Cradock, while co-owner of me3 Technology Consultants, worked for a number of years on GoMOOS products, including the real-time buoy conditions, wave forecasts, web services and graphing software.
