The storm weakened somewhat as it travelled north. As of 8 a.m. , it was over the Gulf of St. Lawrence about 200 miles northeast of Halifax, carrying maximum winds of 85 miles per hour and barrelling north at around 23 mph , the NHC said. A hurricane warning was in effect for much of central Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, home to more than 150,000 people, and parts of Newfoundland, the Miami-based NHC said.
