FORTUNE, Newfoundland (AP) ? Post-tropical storm Leslie has moved out to sea, hours after its stiff winds and heavy rains pummeled Newfoundland.
Jean-Marc Couturier, a forecaster with the Canadian Hurricane Centre, says Leslie passed through Cape Bonavista in northeastern Newfoundland early Tuesday afternoon, and headed out to the Atlantic as a post-tropical storm.
He says the winds are receding and storm warnings have been lifted for the island's south coast. But he says strong northwesterly winds are still gusting in excess of 62 mph (100 kph) along the province's eastern and northeastern coasts.
The storm made landfall Tuesday morning, knocking down power lines and forcing all flights to be cancelled at the island's main airport.
