- Hurricane Igor Smashes Its Way Through Bell Island, I Went Around The Island And Took Some Footage. Winds UpTo 120km/h ( Approx.70m/h) Rain Fall UpTo 150mm. It Is Windy And Rainy As The Day Goes By It Gets Worse, The Boats Stopped Running.
Thanks Very Much!!!!!
Cheers To You !! you are absolutley right, you made me look at it in a whole new perspective way.
@Taniseth There are over 700 bell islanders that take the boat everyday and go to work in St.johns and approx. 300 hundred more that work on the island. It is a good place to live, its quiet and laid back.
Pretty wicked storm! You sure don't see stuff like that here in Michigan, that's for sure. At least you and yours are ok, that's always the best thing you can have :)
This makes a great video, but I'm not sure I'd like to be in it. Thanks for uploading and letting us see it. Hugs..Jan and susan ♥
. I personally think that the ferry system is no different than the Trans Canada Highway. Bell Islanders pay taxes just like everybody else. For most it is where they were born.If you worked in St. Johns but you lived in another part of NFLD. and you had to commute but you were told that you have to pay how would you feel. Bell Islanders have to pay everyday to commute to their jobs in St. Johns. Every newfoundlander is proud of where they live and Bell Islanders are proudest of all.
I'll bet that ferry captain was sayin a few 4 letter words while trying to bring her in to dock
@Rawralion ya , the roof ripped right off, i saw it, it blocked the entrance actually from all the debris.

@CarnivalofCarnag3 Canadian Tire at Elizabeth still had the power out as of 1pm, talking to a friend of mine there.

@sher420nl yesser that was the last one for the day for the Hamal, it came back from the cove empty too
~PC~
@Wolfsbane909 He was trying to tie his boat up better than he had it.
@dudefromtherock When the mines were going Bell Island kept St.Johns ecomony going, everyone seems to forget what Bell Island done years ago, do the research

BELL ISLAND WAS AND ALLWAYS WILL BE A PLACE WHERE A LOT OF GOOD MEN AND WOMEN CAME FROM.IT IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT IS LOVED BY SO MANY BELL ISLANDERS.AND THEY WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST OF THE BEST....BELL ISLAND ,AND BELL ISLANDERS ,PAID THER DUES.AND IT DESERVES THE BEST...MY FATHER CAME FR THERE AND HE WAS THE BEST WHEN IT CAME TO A SCRAP LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THEY WERE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DID.....
@LeggeMen Mine got flooded our drain could hold the water, over flowed on us, had lots of water, i had to stay home from work to clean it up, that wasn't fun, but got it all cleaned up now, thats tiring.
~PC~
man it was horrible here in clarenville the bridges are gone and everything
@dashizal1 Remember...........we don't see extreme weather like this, obviously there are worse storms in other parts of the world. It is a big deal to us because we're not used to seeing this. Just like Nevada would freak if they got 20 inches of snow and 12 degree F temperatures, they just wouldn't be used to seeing it. It is all relative.
I never know the ferrys were running durning hurricane igor poor people on the boat they must be seasick
man i just got my power back today adn there are so many who still dont have ti yet.
Welcome Home Buddy, NL best place on earth
~PC~
May the light shine upon you, leading you through the dark storm! :D
@get1modernwarfare2 Go On By'e. i can only imagine what you went through in a Category 5, this was a 1, glad you survived my friend.
~PC~
and to think this is only level 1! Crazy....
are basement started to flood because we lost are power and the pump couldnt work, luckly we got a generator on the go and we didnt flood. we were about 2 cm away from flooding the whole basement.
i was in the Catigory 5 hurricane Ivan when it slammed jamaica a couple years ago }{-O, this is like summer breez compared to what i went through
@dajizz70 Igor took a long leak on da rock, your so welcome my good friend, Aloha
~PC~
man it was hell here in newfoundland im making some vison the aftermath of hericane igor
Now, is the guy in the boat suppose to be leaning that close to the dock? is he doing that on purpose?
@PcaKestheaod Wow good question I don't know.
How did the rigs faired? try to find out.
~PC~
@dudefromtherock There are over 700 bell islanders that take the boat everyday and go to work in St.johns and approx. 300 hundred more that work on the island and in the summer alot of money is generated by tourists. The past is what made the future so you cannot say forget about the past because without the past the is no future for anybody.
If this is unusual and exciting, Bell Island must be the dullest place in the world.
@jackadam01 was it hurricane? I thought the experts say it was just a tropicial storm? The experts better get their act together, was it a storm or hurricane?
This was the storm of the century in Newfoundland and maybe the worse storm in its history. But i think you'll see storms like this every few years in Newfoundland from now on. And they'll only get worse.
@crathes663 It is Dull and nothing to do reallyand thats the way we like it, theres no murders,robberies, thefts or any of that nonsense. Were a small community where everyone knows everyone and theres no place on this earth i would want to be. Thanks for checkin it out
~PC~
@therockkkkher I was going to get out the seadoo LOL
~PC~
@XXPurecountryXX dude nl is the best man good sights i just got back from fort mac murry,alberta and i love it here
@VidGirl88 That was the only fatality i think, one too many.
~PC~
wind was a howling, lucky didn:t blow you away lol
@tackorgybe in comparative to say hurricane Katrina no it was not a big one but it was still a hurricane.
And us Islanders luck out by missing another hurricane, heh.
Anyone know how the rigs faired?
B'ye i aint never seen waves like that on bell island
@XXPurecountryXX My Grandfather worked the mines for years but guess what? That's the past. Maintaining a ferry system for that hunk of rock is costing taxpayers millions. People need to move off or stop complaining.
I heard the roof of the hospital got taken out? is that true?
@BotBlink94 I heard that too it was a 1, imagine a 5 holy smokes blow ya right out of your socks.
~PC~
@209raki thats what she said ;]
@lordsyprus yeah be more exiciting if people were whipped up in the hurricane and see cows flying around like the movie "Twister"! Boring but safe, people weren't killed, only property damage which can be replaced & repaired, lost of a human life is permanent.
@crathes663 It is trust me
@littlebigplanetguy Man I heard clarenville was terrible,, I have a friend in clarenville who e mailed me told me. Igor packed a punch eh.
@roni987456321 My basement got a foot of water, lots of stuff ruined.
~PC~
why is it you can't bring up anything about bell island without people running there mouth ? look we love it here on this island most of us where here our whole lives and some had there familys here for genorations so stop trying to tell us to move like you know what your talking about. and it don't matter where you live in the world every place has problems i can bring up problems with any place you all live too so knock it off. if the boats our only problem thats great. so lets justget along
Ders a boat out der luh :)
@PookeoResurrected Igor passed on you i guess eh.
~PC~
@XXPurecountryXX Well as long as it's a drain on the economy for Nostalgic reasons...that's okay.
Just kidding, I enjoyed my time spent on the island. But seriously...you guys need to find a new reason to be.
@lordsyprus Then i guess you don't watch many vidoes.LOL
