I managed to get out the past couple days to snap a few of the aftermath that Igor left in it’s wake. A lot of the damage is being cleaned up fairly quickly so not much remains now.

The major damage is on Random Island and it’s probably going to be a little while before it gets open. I heard on CBC Radio today that the CO-OP in Clarenville got a load of fresh food together; bread, milk, water, snacks, vegetables, etc. and stogged a boat bound for Hickman’s Harbour.

That is what’s great about Newfoundland though — without batting an eye a local business owner used his position to help out not just one person, but several entire communities.

Several people now are suggesting that the military needs to be called in as the scale of the devastation is just too great for local services to clear up in a reasonable amount of time.

This section of Rawlin’s Cross is especially sad to see gone. It was a fantastic little spot to sit, relax and watch life go by.

Very sad.

Also, hats off to all our emergency services. More times on Tuesday I was passed by an ambulance, firetruck or police car racing to a call… they all did a fantastic job keeping everyone safe.

Two days on and roads in some sections of the North East Avalon were still closed.

Don’t know about you, but I’m not used to seeing this many trees in the upper parking lot at Bowring Park unless it’s January. All of this is branches, trees, shrubs, etc. from the storm. Just as much, if not more then there would be post-Christmas.

This next picture is from Portugal Cove. You can see where the waves which were crashing against the shore have significantly eroded the coastline there.

This is a picture of the waves riding up the shoreline against Atlantica.
