HALIFAX, Canada, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Earl has slowed to a tropical storm, with wind speeds of some 60 knots, or just below 70 mph (113 kph), the Canadian Hurricane Centre said on Saturday.

The storm, once a violent Category Four hurricane, had slowed to just above hurricane speeds when it made landfall over the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia earlier on Saturday. It then slowed.
