It’s the second thunderstorm in the area in the month of August, however, Meteorologist with the Gander Weather Office, Brenden Sawchuk, says it doesn’t look like another is on its way, at least in the short term.
On the Hurricane Henri front, Sawchuk says we should be safe.
He says while we may see remnants, it’s expected to die out before it hits the island.
