This is absolutely hilarious! "A High Wind Watch is in effect" "A high wind event" (85 knots sustained or more). Why not call it what it really is? An extra-tropical cyclone. Do they think that the Canadians and Americans in harm's way will freak out and panic if someone tells them there is a hurricane coming? Hmmm...
And what about the Zim Kingston herself? A fire that the crew has been advised not to fight with water? It's not an oil fire, so what would it be? On an Israeli vessel? Many more questions than answers, I think.
Someone please tell me what the Canadian & Americans are thinking? I'd have hooked her up to a tug and would have been many more miles offshore by now, and towing at max speed to get as far offshore as possible, before "possibly the most powerful storm, in recorded history") slams into the coast and tosses this ship on the bricks like a rubber ducky.
Are we going to see another ecological disaster?
