Hurricane Igor devastates Newfoundland

Hurricane Igor  pelted Canada's Atlantic coast province of Newfoundland with heavy rain Tuesday, flooding communities, washing out roads and stranding some residents in their homes

The Canadian Forces were called to action on Friday, to provide emergency aid to thousands of people who need food, medicine, water, fuel and other supplies

Normally the cool weather from the Atlantic weaken the hurricanes altought because of the extreme climate change and warming water the hurricane gain power enough to damage Newfoundland.


"We have never experienced anything like this before. The important thing is not to panic and start helping out our neighbors and vice versa.It is going to take a long time to get on track but we will make it trough " Milena said who is from one of the most damage areas.


  "It caused tens of millions of dollars in damages and  it's the hardest that have hit in recent memory.  14 communities have declared a state of emergency and said 27 communities are isolated as a result of washouts and road damages".Mr.T. Keenan a member of the province's fire and emergency service said.
