with an unofficial peak gust of 54 mph (88 km/h) reported near where the storm moved ashore. The extratropical remnants of Chantal dropped heavy rainfall in a short duration across Newfoundland; 1.7 inches (43 mm) fell in 1 hour at St. John's West, the highest hourly rainfall total. Across the province, precipitation peaked at 7.89 inches (200.4 mm) at Argentia. The rainfall caused flooding and street washouts in several towns along the Avalon Peninsula, such as Ship Harbour, Fox Harbour, and Dunville. Several communities in the region declared states of emergencies. In Ship Harbour citizens were isolated for 5 days until a temporary road was made. Also in Spaniard's Bay, the flooding caused a bridge to depress about 1.5 feet (50 cm); a temporary bridge was built within two months, with a permanent replacement scheduled to be finished by the summer of 2008. Insured damage across the area totaled $25 million (2007 CAD, $24.3 million 2007 USD).
