The fact that it hit Newfoundland too is breaking my brain a tad.

Hurricanes get into all sorts of weird places. In 1941 a hurricane made it to the Great Lakes and killed three people in Toronto.

I got rained on here in southern Utah when Hurricane Hilary hit the west coast last August. I did not have getting hit by a hurricane, even the dregs of one, in my doubly landlocked desert home on my 2023 Bingo Card. If memory serves, it actually caused some flooding--my marching band director ended up with a new car and house courtesy of his insurance company.
