Weather summary
for Newfoundland
issued by Environment Canada
at 5:30 p.m. NDT Saturday 11 September 2021.

Discussion.

Hurricane Larry emerged from the tropical Atlantic late last week 
and passed east of Bermuda on Thursday of this week, before 
accelerating northeastward towards Newfoundland. Larry made landfall 
on the western Avalon Peninsula, west of Long Harbour, as a category 
one hurricane around 1:30 A.M. NDT this morning. Larry then quickly 
continued off towards the Labrador Sea where it transitioned into a 
post tropical storm. 

Larry brought strong winds, storm surge, and a short period of 
intense rain to eastern Newfoundland. Impacts included widespread 
power outages with numerous broken trees, power poles and other 
structural damage. Notably, a large outdoor performance tent in St. 
John's suffered extensive damage. Meanwhile, along south and 
southwest facing shorelines of the Burin and Avalon Peninsulas, 
large waves and storm surge caused road washouts and visible damage 
to coastal infrastructure. The tide guage at Argentia broke a record 
that was set on December 25, 1983, with a peak high tide water level 
of 3.65 metres and total storm surge of 1.5 metres.
