From Canadian Blood Services...

This afternoon's community blood donor clinic at the Knights of Columbus in Carbonear (12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.) has been postponed until this evening.

The new hours for today's clinic are from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

All other clinics published below will operate as scheduled.

With the storm anticipated disruptions, Canadian Blood Services is encouraging Newfoundlanders to help ensure the blood system can meet its needs on the island. Should weather and road conditions permit safe travel to a clinic, residents are urged to donate blood this week to help maintain a strong inventory of blood and blood products for local hospital patients.

"If the storm has freed up some time for you today, or later in the week, then why not make good use of it by helping out a hospital patient in need of blood" said Peter MacDonald, Director, Donor and Clinic Services, Atlantic.

Peninsula sees eye of the storm

The Burin Peninsula has been sparred this time around.
Tropical Storm Leslie did strike in to land on the Fortune Bay side of the peninsula around 8 a.m. and as a result the eye of the storm moved across our region.
Overnight there were high winds with St. Lawrence registering gusts in the 95-kilometre range. And around 4 a.m. rain started to fall with Environment Canada reporting Winterland recorded over 50 millimetres of rain in a two-hour period between 5-7 a.m.
Most peninsula businesses opened as usual this morning but Eastern School District, College of the North Atlantic and Keyin College all closed for the day. Some government offices were also closed this morning.
High winds had affected the Avalon Peninsula with power outages and damages to buildings with winds well over 100km. Heavy rain was impacting central and western Newfoundland.
Environment Canada was still forecasting high winds on the back side of the storm gusting at times to 100kms and some light rain.
Tropical Storm and wind warnings are remaining in effect along with a Hurricane watch but the rainfall warning has ended.

The extreme weather conditions are causing problems for mail delivery in various parts of Newfoundland.

There will be no mail delivery for the 50,000 customers in St. John’s today; another 20,000 customers in Corner Brook, Grand Falls and Gander will not receive lettermail delivery however parcels will be delivered where possible.

Delays can be expected for the next few days throughout the province because there are no ferries or flights carrying mail going in to Newfoundland until the weather improves. Once the weather does improve and it is safe to do so, mail delivery will return to normal.

From Peter Penashue...

Today Minister Peter Penashue, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, Regional Minister for Newfoundland and Labrador, and Member of Parliament for Labrador expressed the Harper Government’s support for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians in the face of tropical storm Leslie, which made landfall this morning at approximately 8:30am local time.

“While the government of Newfoundland and Labrador has indicated that federal assistance is not required at this time, precautionary steps have been taken to ensure that the federal government can aid Newfoundlanders and Labradorians should the need arise,” said Minister Penashue.

“A Canadian Armed Forces Immediate Response Unit has been prepositioned, and officials have reviewed National Emergency Stockpile supplies to ensure the availability of beds, blankets, various medical supplies and other critical items.”

“Our government stands ready to assist the people of Newfoundland and Labrador with the effects of this serious storm, should the Provincial government request assistance. I urge Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to always take all necessary precautions to stay safe during a storm, and I hope that this one passes with minimal damage and disruption.”

From Nova Scotia...


TRURO, N.S. - Flood waters in Truro, N.S., receded today as officials assessed damage to streets and dikes after tidal rivers overflowed their banks on Monday.

The emergency measures co-ordinator for Colchester County says there is a large amount of damage to roads, culverts and possibly to bridges along the Salmon and North rivers.

Robert Levine says that many residents and businesses also suffered property damage.

However, he says shelters in Truro and Bible Hill have closed and people have returned to their homes.

Water flowed over a dike on the Salmon River and poured into a low-lying plain around the waterway on Monday after about 100 to 120 millimetres of rain fell in central Nova Scotia.

The flood waters also rose in the adjoining community of Bible Hill, forcing evacuations and blocking road access to the town.

Chris Fogarty of the Canadian Hurricane Centre estimates that central Nova Scotia received as much rain in a single day as it usually gets in a month.

The Telegram: 
From the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary...

In light of damage received this morning during the storm the RNC are
advising the following:

Unless absolutely necessary motorists are asked to remain at home. There
are many damaged light poles, buildings, power lines down, damaged trees
and limbs on our roadways. By restricting movement on our roadways this
will allow maintenance crews to clean up these areas as quickly and as
safely as possible.

Many streets remain closed. If you see barricades, do not enter signs or
emergency vehicles do not enter these areas. They are restricted as the
area is not yet made safe.

If driving reduce your speeds and be observant wherever you are driving.

Many intersections have no power thus the traffic lights are not
functioning. These intersections are to be treated as a four way stop.
Ensure your path is clear and safe.

If you witness anything you feel is dangerous please notify the
appropriate authorities.

We are still experiencing very strong winds in all areas of the Northeast
Avalon.

Drive safely. Thank you.

Premier Kathy Dunderdale told reporters this afternoon that the province didn't dodge a bullet with tropical storm Leslie, we faced it head on.
Dunderdale told reporters the storm was an important test of the province’s emergency protocols and lessons learned from Hurricane Igor.
The government isn't aware of any injuries as a result of the storm, and only minor damage to infrastructure.
