Hurricane Fiona is on track to rake Bermuda with damaging winds before driving north toward Atlantic Canada, bringing threats of widespread damage and power outages in its path.
Fiona, the strongest storm so far in this year’s Atlantic hurricane season, is about 410 miles (660 kilometers) southwest of Bermuda and is set to deliver its worst to the islands later Thursday, the US National Hurricane Center said in its 11 a.m. advisory. Top winds are at 130 miles per hour, where they have been for the past day.
