List of hurricanes in Canada

The list of hurricanes in Canada refers to any tropical cyclone originating in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean affecting the country of Canada.

Hurricane Fiona was the costliest natural disaster in Atlantic Canada's history.

Overview edit

Canada is usually only hit with weak storms, due to the generally cool waters immediately offshore. However, some hurricanes can strike the area full force as the warm Gulf Stream extends fairly close to Atlantic Canada. Due to the cool waters for a great distance from the Pacific coast of Canada, there has never been a storm of any intensity to directly affect the Pacific coast. On occasion tropical systems can transition into, or be absorbed by, non-tropical systems that strongly affect western Canada, most notably by the remnants of Typhoon Freda that were absorbed by the Columbus Day Storm of 1962.

According to the Canadian Hurricane Centre, Hurricane Ella of 1978 is the strongest tropical cyclone in Canadian waters, passing approximately 335 miles (539 km) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia as a Category 4 hurricane. Despite this however, Ella did not make landfall.[1] The strongest hurricane to make landfall in Canada was Hurricane Ginny of 1963,[2] which had winds of 105 mph (169 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 948 millibars (28.0 inHg), making it a Category 2 hurricane at the time of its landfall near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.[1]

All tropical cyclones that either made a direct landfall in Canada, or made a notable close approach while so classified are included below. Sometimes, a hurricane will make landfall in the United States and continue northward to dissipate over (or partially over) Canada. Only a handful of storms that have taken this path have been devastating in Canada. Two examples of this include the 1900 Galveston hurricane and Hurricane Hazel in 1954. Systems that entered Canada from the U.S. after landfall are omitted from these lists, with being devastating, or notabl cyclones. Many extratropical remnants of tropical cyclones have entered Canada. They are not included in this list unless they were particularly notable. This article also includes hurricanes that affected Newfoundland prior to its entry into Canada in 1949, and hurricanes that affected any Canadian provinces before confederation in 1867.

List of tropical cyclones edit

Pre-1900 edit

Many tropical storms and hurricanes struck present-day Canada during this time. The most damaging one struck Newfoundland in September 1775, killing thousands. To shorten this particular list, insignificant tropical storms and depressions are omitted.

  • September 9, 1775: The 1775 Newfoundland hurricane killed over 4,000 in Newfoundland. Not only is it the earliest recorded Canadian hurricane, it is also by far the deadliest.
  • October 10–11, 1804: The 1804 Snow hurricane unusually blanketed parts of Canada with snow after striking New England.
  • August 23, 1863: A Category 1 hurricane hit Nova Scotia just before losing tropical characteristics.
  • September 23–24, 1866: A hurricane hit Newfoundland after weakening from a Category 2 hurricane.
  • October 5, 1869: The 1869 Saxby Gale struck Canada's Bay of Fundy region damaging parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, killing 37 people offshore.
  • October 13, 1871: A hurricane hit Nova Scotia.
  • August 26, 1873: The Nova Scotia Hurricane of 1873 drifted south of Nova Scotia as a Category 3 hurricane. It weakened to a Category 1 before slowly making landfall in Newfoundland. It was a devastating hurricane that killed over 600. Damage in Nova Scotia was severe. It destroyed over 1,200 boats and over 900 homes and businesses. This is one of Nova Scotia's worst cyclones.
  • October 1882: Remnants of a hurricane hit Labrador, resulting in 140 deaths.
  • August 26, 1883: A Category 1 hurricane passed offshore Newfoundland, resulting in 80 deaths.
  • August 23, 1886: A major hurricane weakened to a Category 1 hurricane before crossing Newfoundland as a hurricane.
  • September 8, 1891: A hurricane struck both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as a Category 1 hurricane.
  • August 18, 1893: A hurricane struck Newfoundland with 90 mph (140 km/h) winds.

1900–1949 edit

  • September 12–14, 1900: After leaving behind a trail of devastation in the United States, the 1900 Galveston hurricane affected six Canadian provinces as a powerful extratropical cyclone, killing 52–232 people, mainly due to shipwrecks.
  • August 8, 1926: The 1926 Nova Scotia hurricane made landfall in Nova Scotia as an extratropical storm, killing 55–58 people.
  • August 24, 1927: The 1927 Nova Scotia hurricane made landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph (169 km/h) winds, causing immense damage, reaching $1.6 million (1927 USD), and killed 172–193 people.
  • August 26, 1935: A Category 1 hurricane strikes Newfoundland as an extratropical storm, resulting in major damage and at least 50 offshore deaths.
  • September 26, 1937: The extratropical remnant of a hurricane caused damage in Nova Scotia. The storm was moving swiftly, so most of the damage was strictly wind related.
  • September 21, 1938: The 1938 New England hurricane tracked into Canada, bringing strong winds to eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. Damage was primarily limited to trees and power lines; structural damage was minimal. This storm, along with Hurricane Hazel in 1954, was one of the few hurricanes to cause hurricane-force winds in Canada's interior.
  • October 18, 1939: After a long respite from hurricanes in Newfoundland, a hurricane struck the island as a Category 1 hurricane. No one died, but considerable damage was done to trees, boats, and buildings.
  • September 17, 1940: The 1940 Nova Scotia hurricane struck Nova Scotia as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening.

1950–1999 edit

  • August 21, 1950: Hurricane Able struck Nova Scotia as a strong tropical storm, causing only minor damage.
  • October 5, 1950: Hurricane George passed a few miles south as a tropical/extratropical storm.
  • February 5, 1952: The 1952 Groundhog Day tropical storm, affected New Brunswick before dissipating.
  • September 7, 1953: Hurricane Carol struck the New Brunswick/Nova Scotia border. It caused about $1 million in damage, mainly to boats and fish craft.
  • October 16, 1954: Hurricane Hazel moved into Ontario as a powerful extratropical storm (still of hurricane intensity) after having struck the Carolinas. Flash flooding from Hazel in Canada destroyed twenty bridges, killed 81 people, and left over 2,000 families homeless. In all, Hazel killed nearly 100 people and caused almost $630 million (2005 CAD) in damages (on top of over 500 other deaths and billions in damage in the US and Caribbean). No other recent natural disaster on Canadian soil has been so deadly. Floods killed 35 people on a single street in Toronto.[3]
  • August 23, 1955: Hurricane Connie – When the remnants of Connie entered Ontario as a tropical depression, it continued to produce winds of up to 46 mph (74 km/h), and the storm dropped 2.56 inches (65 mm) of rainfall near the Great Lakes. In Burlington, 27 boats were destroyed, and one person drowned in Lake Erie after his boat sank. Two other people drowned in the province. Connie destroyed six houses and damaged several others due to high waves.
  • September 29, 1958: Hurricane Helene struck Newfoundland as a hurricane. Although not very damaging in Canada, Helene did destroy a 50-metre (160-foot) wharf carrying many lobster traps out to sea.
  • June 19, 1959: The 1959 Escuminac Hurricane was a devastating hurricane that hit Nova Scotia. 22 boats were lost during the storm. In all the hurricane killed 35. The hurricane was so devastating, a monument was erected on Escuminac Harbour in memory of those lost.
  • July 12, 1959: Tropical Storm Cindy struck north of Nova Scotia as an extratropical cyclone.
  • October 10, 1961: Hurricane Frances reached hurricane status on October 4 and on October 7, attained its peak intensity with winds of 130 mph (210 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 948 mbar (28.0 inHg). Frances passed by Bermuda around that time, where it dropped 1.35 inches (34 mm) of precipitation. On October 8, the storm became extratropical as it approached the Gulf of Maine. The remnants curved east-northeastward and struck Nova Scotia, before dissipating early on October 10.
  • October 8, 1962: Hurricane Daisy struck Nova Scotia as a hurricane, near the same area as Frances a year earlier, which struck the area while extratropical.
  • October 12, 1962: Typhoon Freda struck British Columbia as a very powerful extratropical cyclone with pressure equivalent to a Major Hurricane.
  • October 29, 1963: Hurricane Ginny struck Nova Scotia as a strong Category 2 hurricane, the strongest to ever make landfall in Canada.[2] Ginny was unusual in the fact that the hurricane produced snow.
  • October 24, 1964: Hurricane Gladys dissipated near the coast of Newfoundland just after making landfall.
  • August 16, 1971: Hurricane Beth struck Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane, bringing over 11 inches (280 mm) of rainfall.[4]
  • July 7, 1973: Hurricane Alice side-swiped the entire western coast of Newfoundland as a tropical storm before dissipating over Newfoundland.
  • July 28, 1975: Hurricane Blanche struck Nova Scotia as a tropical storm, dropping over 3 inches (76 mm) of rainfall.[5]
  • October 25, 1979: A subtropical storm (known as a subtropical "storm" but was actually a subtropical "hurricane" having reached 75 mph (121 km/h) winds while subtropical) struck Newfoundland as a subtropical storm after losing hurricane strength.
  • August 7–8, 1988: Tropical Storm Alberto, the furthest north forming tropical storm ever recorded in the Atlantic, struck the Canadian Maritimes and became extratropical over Newfoundland. Alberto was the first storm with a masculine name to directly strike Canada.
  • August 8, 1989: Hurricane Dean passed over Newfoundland before losing tropical characteristics.
  • August 2, 1990: Hurricane Bertha's extratropical remnants damaged crops and a suspension bridge in Prince Edward Island.
  • November 2, 1991: The 1991 unnamed hurricane, although staying mostly out to sea, made landfall in Nova Scotia as a tropical storm. The storm was not very damaging in Canada, but caused horrendous damage elsewhere.
  • July 9, 1995: Tropical Storm Barry hit Nova Scotia while tropical with no known damage.[6]
     
    Luis making landfall in Canada
  • September 11, 1995: Hurricane Luis, after raging through the Leeward Islands, turned towards Newfoundland on September 8. The Canadian Hurricane Centre issued bulletins on the powerful hurricane as it neared the province. Luis struck a sparsely populated area in eastern Newfoundland on September 11, dropping 2 to 4 inches (51 to 102 millimetres) of rain in the Avalon Peninsula without causing much damage. One was reported killed in Canada from Luis.[7]
  • July 14, 1996: Hurricane Bertha struck Newfoundland before dissipating, but passed from Maine to New Brunswick earlier in its life, dropping over 3 inches (76 mm) of rain in New Brunswick.[8]
  • September 13–15, 1996: Hurricane Huron, an unusual storm over the Great Lakes which may have briefly been a tropical or subtropical cyclone, dropped over 4 inches (100 mm) of rain over parts of Ontario.[9]
  • September 15, 1996: Hurricane Hortense, the first hurricane to directly strike Nova Scotia while at hurricane strength since Blanche in 1975, struck the Nova Scotian coast as a Category 1 hurricane. $3 million were inflicted to Nova Scotia by Hortense after strong winds, heavy rain, and power outages.[10]
  • September 18, 1999: Hurricane Floyd struck the Canadian Maritimes after losing tropical characteristics. Despite high interest in Floyd by the CHC, little damage was inflicted in Canada. Floyd did, however, bring winds of 51 mph (82 km/h) and high seas.[11]

2000–present edit

  • October 20, 2000: Hurricane Michael struck Harbour Breton as a Category 1 hurricane. A peak gust was recorded of nearly 107 mph (172 km/h), as well as a peak wave height of over 55 feet (17 m) that was recorded off the coast by Buoy 44193. Overall damage by Michael was light.[12]
  • October 15, 2001: Hurricane Karen brought beneficial rain after striking Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Winds there only gusted to about 64 mph (103 km/h), and little damage was reported.[13]
  • September 12, 2002: Hurricane Gustav struck Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, both as a Category 1 hurricane. Gustav brought hurricane-force winds to Nova Scotia and dropped at least two inches (51 mm) of rain across all Nova Scotian sites. The highest rainfall amount was 4 inches (100 mm) in Ashdale.[14]
     
    Damage left by Juan.
  • September 29, 2003: Hurricane Juan was at the time Atlantic Canada's most destructive hurricane in over a century. Juan killed 8 and caused over $200 million in damage. Power outages in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island left over 300,000 Canadians without power for two weeks. Many marinas were destroyed and many small fish craft were damaged or sank. Hurricane-force gusts were reported as far out as 100 miles (160 km) on either side of Juan at landfall with an astounding peak gust of 144 mph (232 km/h) (equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane) recorded in Halifax Harbour, although it was a Category 2 at landfall with 100 mph (160 km/h) sustained winds.[15]
     
    Hurricane Alex, one of very few major hurricanes to remain at this strength just south of Nova Scotia.
  • September 17, 2005: Hurricane Ophelia, after stalling for several days off the coast of the southeastern states, raced up the Atlantic coast. On the 17th, Ophelia became extratropical and moved parallel to the Nova Scotian coast, never making landfall. Ophelia later struck Newfoundland. Although strong winds were forecast, they did not occur and overall damage was less than expected. One indirect death was reported from Ophelia in Canada.[16]
  • November 3, 2006: the 2006 Central Pacific cyclone, after developing in the north-central Pacific, the system weakened and made landfall on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, though it did bring heavy rainfall to Vancouver Island. The exact nature of this storm is debatable, but it appears to have been a tropical or subtropical cyclone for at least a portion of its life.[17] Nonetheless, this cyclone is not included in any archives of the National Hurricane Center, though it was classified as extra-tropical by the Canadian Hurricane Centre.[18]
  • November 6–7, 2007: Hurricane Noel, after gaining hurricane-force winds north of the Bahama Islands, Noel moved north toward the Cape Cod region of the Massachusetts U.S. coast. After swiping southeast Massachusetts with hurricane-force winds, the system transitioned to an extratropical stage at which time the storm slightly intensified and moved north-northeast to the Nova Scotia coast near Yarmouth. Full hurricane-force conditions occurred over much of southeastern and eastern areas of Nova Scotia from Yarmouth north and eastward to the metropolitan Halifax area(84 mph recorded at McNabs/Halifax). This very same area reported large-scale power and utility line damage as well as widespread tree damage. In areas south of Halifax the tree damage was more severe than that which had occurred during Hurricane Juan in 2003. This was due to the longer transition over the southern peninsula of Nova Scotia than that of Juan. Though at Category 1 status, Noel in its extratropical stage was responsible for coastal damage to some structures from waves and tides and wind damage to roofing and windows. Western areas of Nova Scotia, even well inland received strong gales, the strongest of which occurred in relation to a tropical system since hurricanes Gerda of 1969 and Ginny of 1963.
  • September 28, 2008: Hurricane Kyle, after forming as a tropical storm just east of the Bahamas, headed north, making landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 1 hurricane, causing power outages to 40,000 and $9 million in damage.[19]
  • August 23, 2009: Hurricane Bill, a Cape Verde hurricane, brushed by Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia causing up to 2.3 in of rain. 32,000 residences were reported to have lost power in addition to winds recorded up to 50 mph. Bill then made landfall at Point Rosie, on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland.
  • September 3, 2010: Hurricane Earl made landfall at Western Head, Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane.[20] Earl produced 80–120 km/h (50–75 mph) sustained winds throughout Nova Scotia, which resulted in widespread power outages, fallen trees, and minor coastal flooding. After crossing Nova Scotia, Earl sped across Prince Edward Island before emerging into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. As the storm tracked through the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, western and northern Newfoundland experienced sustained tropical storm conditions. Earl finally transitioned into a non-tropical low approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) northeast of Anticosti Island.
  • September 21, 2010: Hurricane Igor struck Cape Race, Newfoundland as a large Category 1 hurricane, resulting in major flooding and widespread power outages. Many communities were forced to declare a state of emergency, and some evacuated completely as the storm approached. Igor was unusual in that it restrengthened somewhat during its final approach despite being over cool water. As the storm made landfall near Cape Race, maximum sustained winds were estimated to be at least 120 km/h (75 mph), but gusts up to 170 km/h (110 mph) were reported.[21] Hurricane Igor produced hurricane conditions throughout the Avalon Peninsula and tropical storm conditions over the remainder of the island. Media outlets have stated that Igor was the worst hurricane to hit Newfoundland in a century. Impacts to Newfoundland were estimated to be US$200 million[22]
  • August 28, 2011: Hurricane Irene crossed into Canada as an extratropical storm bringing heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Quebec and New Brunswick. Parts of New Brunswick received over 80mm of rain and wind gusts peaked at 93 km/h in Moncton.
  • September 16, 2011: Hurricane Maria made landfall near the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland. Due to Maria's rapid forward speed (90+ km/h), rainfall totals were kept to a minimum and strong winds remained offshore, confined to the eastern semi-circle. As a result, little damage occurred.
  • September 26, 2011: Typhoon Roke's remnants brought rain to British Columbia.
  • October 3, 2011: Hurricane Ophelia made landfall near the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland as a strong extratropical cyclone, damaging drainage infrastructure that had been repaired after Hurricane Igor a year earlier.
  • September 11, 2012: Hurricane Leslie made landfall on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland as a hurricane-strength post-tropical cyclone. Leslie's track put the Avalon Peninsula in the right-front quadrant, resulting in hurricane-force winds, widespread power outages, and structural damage.
  • October 29–30, 2012: Hurricane Sandy crossed into Canada on October 29 through to early October 30, bringing heavy rain, high winds, and in some places, snow, to Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.[23]
  • July 5, 2014: Hurricane Arthur made landfall in south western Nova Scotia on July 5, 2014. The storm at the time was downgraded to a tropical storm. Arthur brought heavy rain, winds and pounding surf to parts of the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia. The strong storm dropped nearly 150 mm of rain to parts to New Brunswick. It cut power to 1/3 of the Nova Scotia households and 65% of New Brunswick.
  • October 10, 2016: Hurricane Matthew's remnants affected Nova Scotia and Newfoundland causing heavy rain and strong winds In Nova Scotia, rain amounts were recorded from east to west as 8.85 inches (225 mm) in Sydney (Cape Breton Island), 5.09 inches (129 mm) in Port Hawkesbury. More than 100,000+ Nova Scotia Power customers lost power.[24]
  • September 7–8, 2019: The post-tropical system that was once Hurricane Dorian made landfall in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with hurricane-force winds and Newfoundland with tropical storm-force winds.[25][26]
 
Hurricane Larry making landfall in Newfoundland on September 11, 2021
  • July 11, 2020: Tropical Storm Fay hit Canada as a 40 mph tropical cyclone. It was over Quebec for 3 hours before dissipating.
  • August 5-6, 2020: Hurricane Isaias became an extratropical low as it crossed into southeastern Quebec from Vermont, causing minimal effects in the province.
  • September 22–23, 2020: Hurricane Teddy made landfall on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as a quickly weakening post-tropical storm and did little to no damage to the provinces.[27][28][29]
  • September 10–11, 2021: Hurricane Larry struck South East Bight, Newfoundland as a Category 1 hurricane.
  • September 10–12, 2022: Hurricane Earl impacted Newfoundland with its outer bands, causing flooding and damages. However, no fatalities were reported in the area.
  • September 24–25, 2022: Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Whitehead, Nova Scotia as a post-tropical cyclone with Category 2 force winds of 170 km/h. Fiona is the strongest storm to ever impact Canada as measured by barometric pressure. Hart Island, NS recorded a pressure reading of 931.6 millibars, which shattered the previous record of 940.2 millibars at St. Anthony, Newfoundland on Jan. 20, 1977. Fiona caused catastrophic damage to electrical infrastructure, which Nova Scotia Power described as five times worse than the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian, which in 2019 was considered the most damaging storm in the utilities history. The storm was vast in size and the damaging winds extended well from its center, causing damage across all four Atlantic Provinces and the Magdalen Islands. Storm surge caused homes to be washed out to sea in Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and severe coastal erosion occurred along the northern coastline of Prince Edward Island. A total of three deaths were attributed to the storm in Atlantic Canada. The storm also caused extensive damage to forests across the region, particularly in Eastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island with thousands of trees downed. Insured losses from Fiona in Canada are estimated to be at least $800 million CAD (US$600 million), with the total damage expected to be significantly higher, making Fiona the costliest hurricane in Canadian history and the costliest natural disaster in Atlantic Canada history.[30][31]
  • January 16, 2023: An unnamed subtropical storm, operationally considered non-tropical by the National Hurricane Center, brought wind gusts of near 60 mph (100 km/h)[32] to Nova Scotia's Sable Island on the night of January 16 while moving northward toward the Cabot Strait. This prompted Environment Canada to issue wind warnings in Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia as well as in the Wreckhouse area of Newfoundland.[32] The following morning, the system made landfall in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia as a weakening subtropical storm with estimated wind speeds of 50 mph (80 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 983 millibars, before becoming a post-tropical low over the St. Lawrence and dissipating over far eastern Quebec the next day.[33]
  • September 16–17, 2023: Hurricane Lee traversed each province in Atlantic Canada as a extratropical cyclone.

Fiona was the costliest natural disaster in Atlantic Canada s history Contents 1 Overview 2 List of tropical cyclones 2 1 Pre 1900 2 2 1900 1949 2 3 1950 1999 2 4 2000 present 3 Tables 4 See also 5 ReferencesOverview editCanada is usually only hit with weak storms due to the generally cool waters immediately offshore However some hurricanes can strike the area full force as the warm Gulf Stream extends fairly close to Atlantic Canada Due to the cool waters for a great distance from the Pacific coast of Canada there has never been a storm of any intensity to directly affect the Pacific coast On occasion tropical systems can transition into or be absorbed by non tropical systems that strongly affect western Canada most notably by the remnants of Typhoon Freda that were absorbed by the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 According to the Canadian Hurricane Centre Hurricane Ella of 1978 is the strongest tropical cyclone in Canadian waters passing approximately 335 miles 539 km south of Halifax Nova Scotia as a Category 4 hurricane Despite this however Ella did not make landfall 1 The strongest hurricane to make landfall in Canada was Hurricane Ginny of 1963 2 which had winds of 105 mph 169 km h and a minimum pressure of 948 millibars 28 0 inHg making it a Category 2 hurricane at the time of its landfall near Yarmouth Nova Scotia 1 All tropical cyclones that either made a direct landfall in Canada or made a notable close approach while so classified are included below Sometimes a hurricane will make landfall in the United States and continue northward to dissipate over or partially over Canada Only a handful of storms that have taken this path have been devastating in Canada Two examples of this include the 1900 Galveston hurricane and Hurricane Hazel in 1954 Systems that entered Canada from the U S after landfall are omitted from these lists with being devastating or notabl cyclones Many extratropical remnants of tropical cyclones have entered Canada They are not included in this list unless they were particularly notable This article also includes hurricanes that affected Newfoundland prior to its entry into Canada in 1949 and hurricanes that affected any Canadian provinces before confederation in 1867 List of tropical cyclones editPre 1900 edit Many tropical storms and hurricanes struck present day Canada during this time The most damaging one struck Newfoundland in September 1775 killing thousands To shorten this particular list insignificant tropical storms and depressions are omitted September 9 1775 The 1775 Newfoundland hurricane killed over 4 000 in Newfoundland Not only is it the earliest recorded Canadian hurricane it is also by far the deadliest October 10 11 1804 The 1804 Snow hurricane unusually blanketed parts of Canada with snow after striking New England August 23 1863 A Category 1 hurricane hit Nova Scotia just before losing tropical characteristics September 23 24 1866 A hurricane hit Newfoundland after weakening from a Category 2 hurricane October 5 1869 The 1869 Saxby Gale struck Canada s Bay of Fundy region damaging parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia killing 37 people offshore October 13 1871 A hurricane hit Nova Scotia August 26 1873 The Nova Scotia Hurricane of 1873 drifted south of Nova Scotia as a Category 3 hurricane It weakened to a Category 1 before slowly making landfall in Newfoundland It was a devastating hurricane that killed over 600 Damage in Nova Scotia was severe It destroyed over 1 200 boats and over 900 homes and businesses This is one of Nova Scotia s worst cyclones October 1882 Remnants of a hurricane hit Labrador resulting in 140 deaths August 26 1883 A Category 1 hurricane passed offshore Newfoundland resulting in 80 deaths August 23 1886 A major hurricane weakened to a Category 1 hurricane before crossing Newfoundland as a hurricane September 8 1891 A hurricane struck both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as a Category 1 hurricane August 18 1893 A hurricane struck Newfoundland with 90 mph 140 km h winds 1900 1949 edit September 12 14 1900 After leaving behind a trail of devastation in the United States the 1900 Galveston hurricane affected six Canadian provinces as a powerful extratropical cyclone killing 52 232 people mainly due to shipwrecks August 8 1926 The 1926 Nova Scotia hurricane made landfall in Nova Scotia as an extratropical storm killing 55 58 people August 24 1927 The 1927 Nova Scotia hurricane made landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph 169 km h winds causing immense damage reaching 1 6 million 1927 USD and killed 172 193 people August 26 1935 A Category 1 hurricane strikes Newfoundland as an extratropical storm resulting in major damage and at least 50 offshore deaths September 26 1937 The extratropical remnant of a hurricane caused damage in Nova Scotia The storm was moving swiftly so most of the damage was strictly wind related September 21 1938 The 1938 New England hurricane tracked into Canada bringing strong winds to eastern Ontario and southern Quebec Damage was primarily limited to trees and power lines structural damage was minimal This storm along with Hurricane Hazel in 1954 was one of the few hurricanes to cause hurricane force winds in Canada s interior October 18 1939 After a long respite from hurricanes in Newfoundland a hurricane struck the island as a Category 1 hurricane No one died but considerable damage was done to trees boats and buildings September 17 1940 The 1940 Nova Scotia hurricane struck Nova Scotia as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening 1950 1999 edit August 21 1950 Hurricane Able struck Nova Scotia as a strong tropical storm causing only minor damage October 5 1950 Hurricane George passed a few miles south as a tropical extratropical storm February 5 1952 The 1952 Groundhog Day tropical storm affected New Brunswick before dissipating September 7 1953 Hurricane Carol struck the New Brunswick Nova Scotia border It caused about 1 million in damage mainly to boats and fish craft October 16 1954 Hurricane Hazel moved into Ontario as a powerful extratropical storm still of hurricane intensity after having struck the Carolinas Flash flooding from Hazel in Canada destroyed twenty bridges killed 81 people and left over 2 000 families homeless In all Hazel killed nearly 100 people and caused almost 630 million 2005 CAD in damages on top of over 500 other deaths and billions in damage in the US and Caribbean No other recent natural disaster on Canadian soil has been so deadly Floods killed 35 people on a single street in Toronto 3 August 23 1955 Hurricane Connie When the remnants of Connie entered Ontario as a tropical depression it continued to produce winds of up to 46 mph 74 km h and the storm dropped 2 56 inches 65 mm of rainfall near the Great Lakes In Burlington 27 boats were destroyed and one person drowned in Lake Erie after his boat sank Two other people drowned in the province Connie destroyed six houses and damaged several others due to high waves September 29 1958 Hurricane Helene struck Newfoundland as a hurricane Although not very damaging in Canada Helene did destroy a 50 metre 160 foot wharf carrying many lobster traps out to sea June 19 1959 The 1959 Escuminac Hurricane was a devastating hurricane that hit Nova Scotia 22 boats were lost during the storm In all the hurricane killed 35 The hurricane was so devastating a monument was erected on Escuminac Harbour in memory of those lost July 12 1959 Tropical Storm Cindy struck north of Nova Scotia as an extratropical cyclone October 10 1961 Hurricane Frances reached hurricane status on October 4 and on October 7 attained its peak intensity with winds of 130 mph 210 km h and a minimum barometric pressure of 948 mbar 28 0 inHg Frances passed by Bermuda around that time where it dropped 1 35 inches 34 mm of precipitation On October 8 the storm became extratropical as it approached the Gulf of Maine The remnants curved east northeastward and struck Nova Scotia before dissipating early on October 10 October 8 1962 Hurricane Daisy struck Nova Scotia as a hurricane near the same area as Frances a year earlier which struck the area while extratropical October 12 1962 Typhoon Freda struck British Columbia as a very powerful extratropical cyclone with pressure equivalent to a Major Hurricane October 29 1963 Hurricane Ginny struck Nova Scotia as a strong Category 2 hurricane the strongest to ever make landfall in Canada 2 Ginny was unusual in the fact that the hurricane produced snow October 24 1964 Hurricane Gladys dissipated near the coast of Newfoundland just after making landfall August 16 1971 Hurricane Beth struck Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane bringing over 11 inches 280 mm of rainfall 4 July 7 1973 Hurricane Alice side swiped the entire western coast of Newfoundland as a tropical storm before dissipating over Newfoundland July 28 1975 Hurricane Blanche struck Nova Scotia as a tropical storm dropping over 3 inches 76 mm of rainfall 5 October 25 1979 A subtropical storm known as a subtropical storm but was actually a subtropical hurricane having reached 75 mph 121 km h winds while subtropical struck Newfoundland as a subtropical storm after losing hurricane strength August 7 8 1988 Tropical Storm Alberto the furthest north forming tropical storm ever recorded in the Atlantic struck the Canadian Maritimes and became extratropical over Newfoundland Alberto was the first storm with a masculine name to directly strike Canada August 8 1989 Hurricane Dean passed over Newfoundland before losing tropical characteristics August 2 1990 Hurricane Bertha s extratropical remnants damaged crops and a suspension bridge in Prince Edward Island November 2 1991 The 1991 unnamed hurricane although staying mostly out to sea made landfall in Nova Scotia as a tropical storm The storm was not very damaging in Canada but caused horrendous damage elsewhere July 9 1995 Tropical Storm Barry hit Nova Scotia while tropical with no known damage 6 nbsp Luis making landfall in Canada September 11 1995 Hurricane Luis after raging through the Leeward Islands turned towards Newfoundland on September 8 The Canadian Hurricane Centre issued bulletins on the powerful hurricane as it neared the province Luis struck a sparsely populated area in eastern Newfoundland on September 11 dropping 2 to 4 inches 51 to 102 millimetres of rain in the Avalon Peninsula without causing much damage One was reported killed in Canada from Luis 7 July 14 1996 Hurricane Bertha struck Newfoundland before dissipating but passed from Maine to New Brunswick earlier in its life dropping over 3 inches 76 mm of rain in New Brunswick 8 September 13 15 1996 Hurricane Huron an unusual storm over the Great Lakes which may have briefly been a tropical or subtropical cyclone dropped over 4 inches 100 mm of rain over parts of Ontario 9 September 15 1996 Hurricane Hortense the first hurricane to directly strike Nova Scotia while at hurricane strength since Blanche in 1975 struck the Nova Scotian coast as a Category 1 hurricane 3 million were inflicted to Nova Scotia by Hortense after strong winds heavy rain and power outages 10 September 18 1999 Hurricane Floyd struck the Canadian Maritimes after losing tropical characteristics Despite high interest in Floyd by the CHC little damage was inflicted in Canada Floyd did however bring winds of 51 mph 82 km h and high seas 11 2000 present edit October 20 2000 Hurricane Michael struck Harbour Breton as a Category 1 hurricane A peak gust was recorded of nearly 107 mph 172 km h as well as a peak wave height of over 55 feet 17 m that was recorded off the coast by Buoy 44193 Overall damage by Michael was light 12 October 15 2001 Hurricane Karen brought beneficial rain after striking Liverpool Nova Scotia Winds there only gusted to about 64 mph 103 km h and little damage was reported 13 September 12 2002 Hurricane Gustav struck Nova Scotia and Newfoundland both as a Category 1 hurricane Gustav brought hurricane force winds to Nova Scotia and dropped at least two inches 51 mm of rain across all Nova Scotian sites The highest rainfall amount was 4 inches 100 mm in Ashdale 14 nbsp Damage left by Juan September 29 2003 Hurricane Juan was at the time Atlantic Canada s most destructive hurricane in over a century Juan killed 8 and caused over 200 million in damage Power outages in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island left over 300 000 Canadians without power for two weeks Many marinas were destroyed and many small fish craft were damaged or sank Hurricane force gusts were reported as far out as 100 miles 160 km on either side of Juan at landfall with an astounding peak gust of 144 mph 232 km h equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane recorded in Halifax Harbour although it was a Category 2 at landfall with 100 mph 160 km h sustained winds 15 nbsp Hurricane Alex one of very few major hurricanes to remain at this strength just south of Nova Scotia September 17 2005 Hurricane Ophelia after stalling for several days off the coast of the southeastern states raced up the Atlantic coast On the 17th Ophelia became extratropical and moved parallel to the Nova Scotian coast never making landfall Ophelia later struck Newfoundland Although strong winds were forecast they did not occur and overall damage was less than expected One indirect death was reported from Ophelia in Canada 16 November 3 2006 the 2006 Central Pacific cyclone after developing in the north central Pacific the system weakened and made landfall on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State though it did bring heavy rainfall to Vancouver Island The exact nature of this storm is debatable but it appears to have been a tropical or subtropical cyclone for at least a portion of its life 17 Nonetheless this cyclone is not included in any archives of the National Hurricane Center though it was classified as extra tropical by the Canadian Hurricane Centre 18 November 6 7 2007 Hurricane Noel after gaining hurricane force winds north of the Bahama Islands Noel moved north toward the Cape Cod region of the Massachusetts U S coast After swiping southeast Massachusetts with hurricane force winds the system transitioned to an extratropical stage at which time the storm slightly intensified and moved north northeast to the Nova Scotia coast near Yarmouth Full hurricane force conditions occurred over much of southeastern and eastern areas of Nova Scotia from Yarmouth north and eastward to the metropolitan Halifax area 84 mph recorded at McNabs Halifax This very same area reported large scale power and utility line damage as well as widespread tree damage In areas south of Halifax the tree damage was more severe than that which had occurred during Hurricane Juan in 2003 This was due to the longer transition over the southern peninsula of Nova Scotia than that of Juan Though at Category 1 status Noel in its extratropical stage was responsible for coastal damage to some structures from waves and tides and wind damage to roofing and windows Western areas of Nova Scotia even well inland received strong gales the strongest of which occurred in relation to a tropical system since hurricanes Gerda of 1969 and Ginny of 1963 September 28 2008 Hurricane Kyle after forming as a tropical storm just east of the Bahamas headed north making landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 1 hurricane causing power outages to 40 000 and 9 million in damage 19 August 23 2009 Hurricane Bill a Cape Verde hurricane brushed by Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia causing up to 2 3 in of rain 32 000 residences were reported to have lost power in addition to winds recorded up to 50 mph Bill then made landfall at Point Rosie on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland September 3 2010 Hurricane Earl made landfall at Western Head Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane 20 Earl produced 80 120 km h 50 75 mph sustained winds throughout Nova Scotia which resulted in widespread power outages fallen trees and minor coastal flooding After crossing Nova Scotia Earl sped across Prince Edward Island before emerging into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence As the storm tracked through the Gulf of Saint Lawrence western and northern Newfoundland experienced sustained tropical storm conditions Earl finally transitioned into a non tropical low approximately 120 kilometres 75 mi northeast of Anticosti Island September 21 2010 Hurricane Igor struck Cape Race Newfoundland as a large Category 1 hurricane resulting in major flooding and widespread power outages Many communities were forced to declare a state of emergency and some evacuated completely as the storm approached Igor was unusual in that it restrengthened somewhat during its final approach despite being over cool water As the storm made landfall near Cape Race maximum sustained winds were estimated to be at least 120 km h 75 mph but gusts up to 170 km h 110 mph were reported 21 Hurricane Igor produced hurricane conditions throughout the Avalon Peninsula and tropical storm conditions over the remainder of the island Media outlets have stated that Igor was the worst hurricane to hit Newfoundland in a century Impacts to Newfoundland were estimated to be US 200 million 22 August 28 2011 Hurricane Irene crossed into Canada as an extratropical storm bringing heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Quebec and New Brunswick Parts of New Brunswick received over 80mm of rain and wind gusts peaked at 93 km h in Moncton September 16 2011 Hurricane Maria made landfall near the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland Due to Maria s rapid forward speed 90 km h rainfall totals were kept to a minimum and strong winds remained offshore confined to the eastern semi circle As a result little damage occurred September 26 2011 Typhoon Roke s remnants brought rain to British Columbia October 3 2011 Hurricane Ophelia made landfall near the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland as a strong extratropical cyclone damaging drainage infrastructure that had been repaired after Hurricane Igor a year earlier September 11 2012 Hurricane Leslie made landfall on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland as a hurricane strength post tropical cyclone Leslie s track put the Avalon Peninsula in the right front quadrant resulting in hurricane force winds widespread power outages and structural damage October 29 30 2012 Hurricane Sandy crossed into Canada on October 29 through to early October 30 bringing heavy rain high winds and in some places snow to Ontario Quebec and the Maritimes 23 July 5 2014 Hurricane Arthur made landfall in south western Nova Scotia on July 5 2014 The storm at the time was downgraded to a tropical storm Arthur brought heavy rain winds and pounding surf to parts of the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia The strong storm dropped nearly 150 mm of rain to parts to New Brunswick It cut power to 1 3 of the Nova Scotia households and 65 of New Brunswick October 10 2016 Hurricane Matthew s remnants affected Nova Scotia and Newfoundland causing heavy rain and strong winds In Nova Scotia rain amounts were recorded from east to west as 8 85 inches 225 mm in Sydney Cape Breton Island 5 09 inches 129 mm in Port Hawkesbury More than 100 000 Nova Scotia Power customers lost power 24 September 7 8 2019 The post tropical system that was once Hurricane Dorian made landfall in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with hurricane force winds and Newfoundland with tropical storm force winds 25 26 nbsp Hurricane Larry making landfall in Newfoundland on September 11 2021July 11 2020 Tropical Storm Fay hit Canada as a 40 mph tropical cyclone It was over Quebec for 3 hours before dissipating August 5 6 2020 Hurricane Isaias became an extratropical low as it crossed into southeastern Quebec from Vermont causing minimal effects in the province September 22 23 2020 Hurricane Teddy made landfall on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as a quickly weakening post tropical storm and did little to no damage to the provinces 27 28 29 September 10 11 2021 Hurricane Larry struck South East Bight Newfoundland as a Category 1 hurricane September 10 12 2022 Hurricane Earl impacted Newfoundland with its outer bands causing flooding and damages However no fatalities were reported in the area September 24 25 2022 Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Whitehead Nova Scotia as a post tropical cyclone with Category 2 force winds of 170 km h Fiona is the strongest storm to ever impact Canada as measured by barometric pressure Hart Island NS recorded a pressure reading of 931 6 millibars which shattered the previous record of 940 2 millibars at St Anthony Newfoundland on Jan 20 1977 Fiona caused catastrophic damage to electrical infrastructure which Nova Scotia Power described as five times worse than the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian which in 2019 was considered the most damaging storm in the utilities history The storm was vast in size and the damaging winds extended well from its center causing damage across all four Atlantic Provinces and the Magdalen Islands Storm surge caused homes to be washed out to sea in Channel Port aux Basques Newfoundland and severe coastal erosion occurred along the northern coastline of Prince Edward Island A total of three deaths were attributed to the storm in Atlantic Canada The storm also caused extensive damage to forests across the region particularly in Eastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island with thousands of trees downed Insured losses from Fiona in Canada are estimated to be at least 800 million CAD US 600 million with the total damage expected to be significantly higher making Fiona the costliest hurricane in Canadian history and the costliest natural disaster in Atlantic Canada history 30 31 January 16 2023 An unnamed subtropical storm operationally considered non tropical by the National Hurricane Center brought wind gusts of near 60 mph 100 km h 32 to Nova Scotia s Sable Island on the night of January 16 while moving northward toward the Cabot Strait This prompted Environment Canada to issue wind warnings in Cape Breton County Nova Scotia as well as in the Wreckhouse area of Newfoundland 32 The following morning the system made landfall in Louisbourg Nova Scotia as a weakening subtropical storm with estimated wind speeds of 50 mph 80 km h and a minimum central pressure of 983 millibars before becoming a post tropical low over the St Lawrence and dissipating over far eastern Quebec the next day 33 September 16 17 2023 Hurricane Lee
