West coast of the Newfoundland took a beating over the weekend.
Heavy rains that started Friday coupled with warm temperatures made quick work of the snow built up in much of the region by Saturday morning. The conditions were perfect for a rapid snow melt which saw water levels reach a dangerous high.
The result was damage to roads and property, loss of power in areas and at least one couple dealing with signifcant damage to their home. A couple of Benoit's Cove narrowly escaped their home before it was submerged Saturday morning.
Corner Brook municipal depot sustained heavy water damage as well.
On Sunday, things got a little cooler and repair work had started. The Trans-Canada Highway near Little Rapids was back in business, although reduced to two lanes while repair crews worked to replace the culverts and fill in the hole that had developed.
Early this afternoon Corner Brook ended its state of emergency as conditions improved and the threat to the safety of residents subsided. Still, in a press release, officials are urging people to stay away from brooks, streams and riverbanks for safety reasons.
A boil water advisory is still in effect for those that lost water Saturday.
Elsewhere, power has been restored to Frenchman's Cove and a portion of Route 430 near Mill Brook has been opened to emergency vehicles.
While conditions are improving in some places, others are still dealing with the results of this weekend's weather. Trout River and Humber Arm South are states of emergency.
In Trout River, residents are being asked to avoid travel if at all possible.
