While the entire impact of post-tropical storm Fiona will take some time to assess, it is already known to have broken some records.

According to the Canadian Hurricane Centre (CHC), Fiona set records for the lowest recorded barometric pressure in Canadian history at 932.7 millibars. The number was reported early on Sept. 25 with CHC noting they were still analyzing the data for accuracy.
