Some areas of the province are still recovering from heavy rain on the weekend, but another storm is approaching this week.
At 205.9 mm, Placentia saw the most rain in the province on Friday and Saturday — and also some of the worst destruction.
The Town of Placentia posted a notice on its Facebook page describing a number of areas in the town with “significant damage” as a result of the tropical moisture from remnants of Hurricane Sally.
The town noted problem areas on provincial roads, and said a section of Freshwater Crescent wasn’t passable.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure posted several tweets on Saturday documenting repairs to washed-out roads in Salvage and near North Harbour.
Now, the south coast is bracing for the tail end of another storm, Hurricane Teddy.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Sunday afternoon for the Burin Peninsula, Connaigre, Burgeo-Ramea, and Channel-Port aux Basques and vicinity.
Large waves, pounding surf and elevated seawater levels are expected, with wave heights eight metres or higher from Tuesday evening to Wednesday evening.
Environment Canada said “very large waves” are expected to build along the south coast this week as Teddy tracks towards the island.
The waves may coincide with high tide, producing elevated water levels and a potential for local flooding and coastal erosion, especially along south-facing shorelines.
Preparations to protect property in vulnerable areas should begin as soon as possible, and damage to coastal infrastructure may occur, said Environment Canada.
