Port aux Basques in SW Newfoundland has been significantly badly hit by Fiona, referred to as ‘complete devastation’. I do know this area properly from researching my newest science-based novel, UPHEAVAL, a couple of sea ice tsunami that hits Cape Breton Island and the Port aux Basques area in 2026 inflicting comparable however extra in depth injury.

Some waves alongside Nova Scotia’s Japanese Shore may construct to be greater than 10 metres, with waves alongside southern Newfoundland on Saturday morning reaching increased heights. “Waves over japanese parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Cabot Strait might be increased than 12 metres,” Atmosphere Canada mentioned.

From my novel, however observe that “Epicentre 2026” is the fictional earthquake that causes the ocean ice tsunami in my ‘geological fiction’ story:
