Storm surge and pounding waves from Hurricane Gonzalo rolled onto the Southern Avalon on Sunday morning. This picture was taken by Clifford Doran in Trepassey. 

As far as Category 1 Hurricane passing through your region goes, Newfoundland made out pretty well from Gonzalo. The centre of the storm passed within 50 km of Cape Race early Sunday morning then quickly raced Northeast into the North Atlantic. Watch the 12 hour Satellite & Radar recap here.

OCTOBER WARMTH!
The other noteworthy numbers over Eastern Newfoundland yesterday were the record setting temperatures. Following Gonzalo we had that warm Southwest flow pump into the region, the Sun came out and we heated up.

-Cape Race also set a new temperatures record, as the station hit 18.3, shattering the old record of 14.9 set back in 2000. (Records began in 1921)
