Residents of Nova Scotia and other parts of Canada were bracing for hurricane-force winds and a potential historic storm surge as Hurricane Fiona approached Friday. “It is going to be certainly a historic extreme event for Eastern Canada,” said Bob Robichaud, warning preparedness meteorologist with the Canadian Hurricane Centre, at a briefing Friday. At 9 p.m. Halifax time, the storm was “accelerating quickly” toward Nova Scotia, Canada’s hurricane center said. Damage in Nova Scotia was estimated at almost $102 million, the CBC reported. In 2003 Canada was hit by Hurricane Juan, a Category 2 storm at landfall that ripped through Nova Scotia.
Hurricane Fiona hammered Bermuda with heavy rains early Friday as the now-Category 3 storm marched toward northeastern Canada. The center of the storm was passing northwest of Bermuda by Friday morning with maximum sustained winds nearing 125 mph, with higher gusts, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was downgraded from a Category 4 hurricane as it made its way past the island, it said. The hurricane center said the severe winds and rain expected to come with Fiona would have "major impacts" for eastern Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec and southeastern Labrador. The hurricane center also warned of the possibility of downed trees and power outages, noting that "most regions will experience hurricane force winds."
Increasing wind pushes waves towards the south shore before the arrival of Hurricane Fiona in Bermuda September 22, 2022. REUTERS/Nicola MuirheadHAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Hurricane Fiona threatened the Atlantic island of Bermuda on Friday, passing west of the British territory on its northward trek toward Nova Scotia while packing the potential to become one of the most severe storms in Canada's history. That made it a Category 4 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, meaning it was capable of producing catastrophic damage. Fiona is shaping up to be the most powerful storm to reach Canada since Dorian made landfall to the west of Halifax in September 2019, the government's Environment Canada website said. Like Dorian, Fiona could ease to a post-tropical storm, but Dorian still carried Category 2 intensity, with sustained winds of 96 mph (155 kph).
Hurricane Fiona moved toward Bermuda on Thursday after leaving a devastating path of destruction in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, authorities said. The Category 4 storm, traveling north, was expected to deliver a glancing blow to the western edge of Bermuda on Thursday night or Friday morning. After passing Bermuda, Fiona will target the Atlantic edges of Canada and likely make landfall near eastern Nova Scotia on Saturday morning. Much of Puerto Rico was still without power Thursday, as temperatures neared 100 degrees, triggering an excessive heat warning. "We’ll be with the Puerto Rico folks ... until this is done, until we recover," Biden told reporters in New York City, following a meeting with Gov.

People walk on a street affected by the passing of Hurricane Fiona in Penuelas, Puerto Rico September 19, 2022. After making landfall in Puerto Rico on Sunday, Fiona caused devastating flooding and landslides on the island. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency has so far attributed four deaths to the storm in Puerto Rico. For many Puerto Rico residents, the memory of Hurricane Maria in 2017 is still fresh. "Bermuda residents are very well practiced in preparing for storms," she said.
