Apparently up to 130km/hr on the other side of the island, to go along with really heavy rain.
Tens of millions of dollars in damages. There's been widespread flooding, and the roads have been washed out in a lot of areas. The power has been out in a lot of areas since about 3 pm today.
Hopefulllly my Nana and the rest of my family are okay, they live close to St. John's, where the hurricane hit. The only story about anyone being injured is an 81 year old man who's driveway apparently collapsed under him from the impact of the rain and was washed out to sea. Not good, let's hope everyone else is alright.
This is like the most recent article I believe: Hurricane Igor hits Canada with heavy rains |
wow I didn't even know there was a Hurricane Igor atm. Hope your relos are ok.
How would you rate Canada as a country and Newfoundland as a state?
