Hurricane Fiona to wallop Canada as one of its strongest storms on record - Axios

Hurricane Fiona is forecast to strike eastern Canada as a powerful hurricane force post-tropical storm beginning tonight, with officials in Nova Scotia telling residents they "should be preparing today and bracing for impact.".

Why it matters: After lashing Bermuda, Fiona may be one of the most intense storms ever to hit Atlantic Canada when it roars ashore Saturday.

It could even set a national intensity record based on its minimum air pressure.
