Strong rain and winds are lashing the Atlantic Canada region as Fiona hits as a powerful post-tropical cyclone
Georgina Scott surveys the damage on her street in Halifax as post tropical storm Fiona continues to batter the area on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022. Strong rains and winds lashed the Atlantic Canada region as Fiona closed in early Saturday as a big, powerful post-tropical cyclone, and Canadian forecasters warned it could be one of the most severe storms in the country's history.
Garland described extreme weather conditions along the southwest coast of Newfoundland that included “high winds, high waves, flooding and electrical fires.” Multiple structures have been destroyed by high seas, she said The Canadian Hurricane Centre tweeted early Saturday that Fiona has the lowest pressure ever recorded for a storm making landfall in Canada. Forecasters had warned it could be the one of the most powerful storms to hit the country.
A hurricane watch was issued for coastal expanses of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 115 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 405 miles . In Sydney, Nova Scotia, the largest city in Cape Breton, about 20 people have taken refuge at the Centre 200 sports and entertainment facility, said Christina Lamey, a spokeswoman for the region.
