Nova Scotians are nervously getting ready for Hurricane Teddy, as the storm hurtles toward the province. Ross Lord reports from Port Hastings and Port Hawkesbury on how people are preparing.

And, as the hurricane approaches Atlantic Canada with threatening winds and heavy rain, Global News chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell is tracking the storm's size and direction and the potential danger ahead.

Hurricane Teddy was downgraded to a post-tropical storm Tuesday night as it closed in on Nova Scotia, which is expected to receive the worst conditions late Wednesday morning.

According to a provincial preparedness update, Teddy is tracking about 500 kilometres south of Halifax. Canadian Hurricane Centre meteorologist Bob Robichaud said the storm is moving about 45 kilometres per hour towards Atlantic Canada.

The storm's maximum sustained winds were clocked at 160 km/h, but it is expected to lose strength in Canadian waters.
