Gone.....but not Forgotten

Igor that is.

He was very intense here. Driving into St. John's we see the number of trees that Igor snapped off....just like twigs. But...as intense as Igor was in our part of Newfoundland....he was far worse in other parts. Bonavista for one (and that is just one...there were many other areas hit very hard as well). In the grand scheme of things, Bonavista isn't all that far from us. As intense as Igor was here, I cannot imagine what it must have been like in some of the other areas on that day.

More pictures here from the Bonavista area.

Thanks for sharing all this, Linda. It is so sad what has happened in your corner of the world. It seems the weather has caused great damage in so many places lately. SE Minnesota is still trying to recover from all the flooding and I see out in Eastern US the same...plus record heat in CA...goodness. Mother Nature is being loud...wonder what is behind it all.
Hope and pray your area recovers quickly...

I have been in your neck of the woods a few times and I sure hope you can recover quickly too.

WOW! Those are quite the pictures, Linda! They really give a feel for the damage that was done. I hope there is progress being made in getting it cleaned up. That will be a lot of work to get it back to any functioning state. I know what it was like to have major flooding in our city...it takes a long time to recover from water damage! Glad you were spared the worst of it.

I'm amazed by all the damage of Igor. I must have missed it on our local news. I had no idea. I'm glad you and your family are safe and sound.

I agree with Renee. Mother Nature is definitely very busy lately.
