ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland — Hurricane Maria made landfall in eastern Newfoundland as a Category 1 storm Friday, but officials said the worst winds were offshore.
There were no early reports of injuries or significant property damage.
After making landfall, Maria was quickly downgraded to a tropical storm. Chris Fogarty, a meteorologist at the Canadian Hurricane Centre, said Newfoundland avoided the worst of the hurricane. “A major bullet was dodged, by the look of it,” Fogarty said.
