Forecasters say hurricane Fiona is shaping up to be a “historic” storm when it blasts through Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec this weekend, packing winds likely to top those of post-tropical storm Dorian in 2019.
Bob Robichaud, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, told a news conference that as of Thursday afternoon, modelling projected “all-time” low pressure across the region, which will bring storm surges and rainfall of between 100 and 200 millimetres.
