"Fiona Will Lash Parts Of Canada As Region’s Strongest Storm On Record" [1]

"Parts of Atlantic Canada are bracing for hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall and a dangerous storm surge".

"Canada’s Atlantic provinces are bracing for the strongest storm they have experienced on record as Hurricane Fiona barrels through the North Atlantic, set to hit the area Friday night into Saturday.

The storm, which unleashed devastating rains earlier this week in Puerto Rico, is expected to deliver wind gusts over 100 mph in parts of Nova Scotia and generate a dangerous ocean surge, or rise in water above normally dry land.
