An unofficial station at Cape Pine, Newfoundland seems to be reporting the eye overhead with a 949mb pressure. If that is an official landfall pressure, that would be a record low for a Canadian landfall I believe.

Re:
If you compare the pressure at Cape Pine to Cape Race airport (CWRA) over the last few days when the pressure gradient was small, it is clear that the Cape Pine station's barometer averages about 0.15" (5 mb) too low. That means the real pressure there is likely about 954 mb.

Even huger now. Tropical storm winds go out up to 460 miles now, with a diameter of 863 miles. The IKE and HDP have to be just insanely high.

Igor is huge, but those images represent the swath of winds over his six-day forecast path, not just the current windfield.

Igor is very likely over 90% of the way to becoming extratropical so I'm not shocked that the wind field expanded further. Newfoundland is getting quite a beating, but I'm sure they deal with similar storms in the winter, though the pressures of those storms are probably somewhat higher.

Makes sense, since it is now reporting 945mb with 55 kt of wind, and I doubt that Igor is 940mb right now.

So I live in St. John's NL, and its quite crazy here. Over 250 mm of rain has come down, and the wind is really picking up. Just got sent home from work. Part of the roof started to come off. Many towns have declared a state of emergency.

Re: ATL: IGOR - Hurricane - Discussion
What an incredible hurricane.
Here are some recent tweets I found.
30 min. ago: Bonavista: pk wind 144 kmh; rainfall 194 mm.
I hour ago: St. John's now officially seeing Gusts to 100 km/h. Sustained 70 km/h.
VIDEO of flooding & road washing out
Man allegedly swept out to sea and more stories of the storm with photos.

Bonavista once again is reporting 116 km/h sustained for a second straight hour (that is 73 mph). I would guess there were winds of 80-90 mph in that time as well.
