The outer bands of Daisy produced strong winds and heavy surf in Bermuda, but caused no damage.

Early on October 8, Daisy made landfall near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia after transitioning into an extratropical cyclone.

In Atlantic Canada, the storm brought rough seas, causing coastal flooding and six fatalities in Nova Scotia.

A Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) revealed the presence of a tropical disturbance east of the Leeward Islands on September 28.

[2] Approaching the Lesser Antilles, the system curved northwestward between two high pressure areas on September 30 and avoided landfall in the islands.

Six hours later, it re-strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane; Daisy also attained its minimum barometric pressure of 965 mbar (28.5 inHg).

Thereafter, Daisy began accelerating and cold sea surface temperatures weakened the storm back to a Category 1 hurricane on October 7.[3].

[4] It briefly curved north-northwestward, before sharply turning east-northeastward in the Gulf of Maine and transitioning into an extratropical cyclone.

Early on October 8, the extratropical storm made landfall near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia with winds of 75 mph (120 km/h).

The remnants of Daisy re-emerged into the Atlantic Ocean and headed east-northeastward before dissipating south of Newfoundland on October 9.

[5] Damage totals from Daisy in the United States alone could surpass $10 million, including the passage of a nor'easter a day prior.

It was considered the worst flood in the region since Hurricane Diane in 1955, and was caused partially because falling leaves clogged drains.

[4] Wind damage was severe and widespread; one person in Maine was killed when a fallen tree landed on, and crushed his car while he was in it.

[9] During Daisy's track northward, it passed within 200 miles (320 km/h) of Bermuda, causing heavy surf, and up to 65 mph (105 km/h) winds.
