Fiona rushes at Canada's Atlantic region with strong rains and wind
Canadian forecasters warned this could be one of the most severe storms in the country's history. "It's going to a bad one," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — 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.
Fiona transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical storm late Friday, but meteorologists cautioned that it still could have hurricane-strength winds and would bring drenching rains and huge waves.
