Weather event weakens but could still bring hurricane-strength winds and heavy rain when it hits, meteorologists say
Canada is bracing for what could be one of the strongest storms ever to touch down on the country, as Fiona makes its way up the Atlantic coast.
The storm transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical cyclone late on Friday, but meteorologists said it could still bring hurricane-strength wind, heavy rain and big waves to the Atlantic Canada region.
Forecasters warned that the storm could affect a swath of the country, including Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, south-eastern New Brunswick, western and south-western Newfoundland, and some parts of Quebec bordering the Gulf of St Lawrence.
