Hurricane Fiona, the strongest storm so far in this year’s Atlantic hurricane season, is now headed for Atlantic Canada. It previously battered the Dominican Republic with rain and wind after unleashing catastrophic flooding in Puerto Rico and knocking down the island’s entire electric grid.

It comes in the midst of what’s been a quiet year for hurricanes so far in the Atlantic. The current season, which stretches from June until November, saw no named storm in August, something that only happened twice in more than seven decades of record keeping.

Forecasters expect 2022 to be the seventh straight year with more named storms than average. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted up to 20 such storms this year, trimming its earlier outlook from as many as 21 after a slow start to the season.
