The aftermath of Hurricane Igor can be seen across the capital city today, and although St. John's was not one of the hardest hit areas it's a grave reminder of the power of mother nature. The staff and neighbours of Applecore seen her wrath first hand when a large tree in the front of Applecore's parking lot entrance on Quidi Vidi Road in St. John's, came crashing down and brought a few unsuspecting power lines with it.

Applecore was fortunate enough to escape with minimal disruption or damage and is back to business as normal. Unfortunately other businesses and residents in Igor's path didn't fair as well and the clean up continues. For more images of Igor's effects in Newfoundland click here.

Hurricane Igor Made landfall in the province of Newfoundland late Monday night and lasted through Tuesday bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Rain accumulated up to 239 mm in the area of St. Lawrence, and in the area of Cape pine the winds reached 172 km/h. Just as an example of the magnitude of Igor's strength.
Extensive flooding, wind damage, and power outages were reported from all over the eastern half of Newfoundland Monday night and Tuesday as a result of hurricane Igor. Estimations for damage and suspected recovery times have not yet been determined, but it's for certain that Igor's path of destruction will take weeks if not months to repair.
