The wrath of Igor

Hurricane Igor assaulted Newfoundland yesterday. Damage along the Burin Peninsula varied, with some being hit worse than others. These are pictures that were taken yesterday evening after the rain stopped in and around my home town.



The water flows over the dam


Trees are pulled up by their roots


The roof is off a building down the road


Power poles are being fixed



My cousin's cabin is flooded


The road between St. Lawrence and Lawn is washed out

My family is fine, like many others they spent the majority of yesterday bailing out their basement without power. There are others in the community and other parts of the island who sustained major damage to property, my thoughts are with them.

Here are pictures taken about 7am, during the storm.
