A number of homes are without power as a weather system with strong winds blows over the island.
Winds are expected to die down later today, after recording gusts of 118 km/h along parts of the Avalon Peninsula overnight.
Well over a dozen arrivals and departures were cancelled late last night and this morning at YYT, resulting in a number of delayed flights.
Near Cappahayden, high winds closed the local dump due to falling trees.
Environment Canada issued a wind warning, cautioning about potentially damaging winds.
Conditions are expected to taper off somewhat, with winds gusting to 70 km/h in the afternoon.
