	Hurricane Floyd heads to Canada - at least in part
		As a hurricane moves over cooler waters, it changes structurally — from a symmetrical cyclone with winds and rain circling the eye of the hurricane to a normal storm whose rains shift to the north side of the low pressure area.
		Hurricane Floyd, or at least the remnants of it, is typical of how hurricanes affect Canada because our cooler waters take away a key ingredient in a hurricane — a heat source.
		The devastating effects of the hurricane motivated politicians to implement a better storm warning system, which was later put into use in the Maritimes.

		It appeared on Wednesday that intensifying Hurricane Hortense was making a slow arc that should keep it well east of the Outer Banks and Virginia Beach.
		A couple of things are working in tandem to help keep the hurricane away from the coastline: The same low pressure trough that has kept eastern Virginia and North Carolina under gray, wet skies is expected to help turn it; then upper-level winds are expected to hook it and sling it northeast.
		Ed Rappaport, a meteorologist with the Hurricane Center in Miami, said the storm is expected to strengthen a little more until it reaches waters already stirred up by the passage of hurricanes Edouard and Fran.
