Hurricane Fiona: Canada braces for 'historic, extreme event'
Residents along Canada's Atlantic Coast have been warned by officials to brace for impact as Hurricane Fiona heads north after pummelling Bermuda.

" The Impacts are going to be large, real and immediate. "
Severe hurricanes in Canada are rare, as storms lose their energy once they hit colder waters in the north and become post-tropical instead. But pressure in the region is predicted to be historically low as Hurricane Fiona hits, making way for a heavier Storm .
Nova Scotia was last battered by a Tropical Cyclone in 2003 with Hurricane Juan , a category two Storm that killed Two People and heavily damaged structures and vegetation.
Meteorologist Bob Robichaud warned on Friday afternoon that Fiona will be bigger than Juan, and stronger than 2019's Hurricane Dorian , which also reached the shores of Nova Scotia .
" It is certainly going to be a historic, extreme event for Atlantic Canada. "
Heavy Rain and winds lashed Bermuda early on Friday, forcing schools and offices to close, before The Hurricane - Now a category three Storm - headed north.
Fiona had already wreaked havoc on Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic earlier This Week , with many still left without power or running water.
A sick four-month-old infant whose mother was unable to get to The Hospital due to blocked roads is among up to four casualties in Puerto Rico . A death was also recorded on the French island of Guadeloupe.
Florida also faces a Hurricane threat after a separate Tropical Cyclone formed in The Caribbean Sea.
