Stella Reddy's Story of Hope

The weather on the Island of Newfoundland, Canada, can be a bit tricky sometimes.

Today, we are aware of a terrible low-pressure system coming to disrupt our lives, as noted on the Weather Network, linked below. I have high hopes that no homes will be lost with the storm surges coming with this one, and no one will be flooded out.

I know I will be right here at home, waiting for hubby to get home from work, and just ride it out. The high winds expected are a concern for me, as I have 7 trees out in the backyard that could get knocked over. I am crossing my fingers that nothing gets damaged. We have lots of candles and battery-operated lights in case the power goes out. I am ready for it.

To my Fellow Newfies, Stay Safe!

Weather Highlights:

• A rapidly intensifying weather bomb is set to cross Newfoundland by late Tuesday evening
• Potential for St. John’s, N.L., to see a new November low-pressure record
• Eastern Newfoundland will see the strongest winds, with gusts of 90-100+ km/h, and more than 120 km/h near Sable Island and southeastern coasts, including St. John’s and the Avalon
• Rainfall of 30-60 mm (locally higher) is expected across parts of Newfoundland and Cape Breton, N.S.
• Heightened risk for power outages, downed trees, localized flooding, coastal erosion, and large waves reaching 6-8+ metres.
