One of the Strongest Storms in Canada’s History
After charging up the Atlantic, Fiona made landfall in Canada early Saturday morning, hitting the coast of Nova Scotia between the remote towns of Canso and Guysborough. The unofficial recorded pressure of the storm as it made landfall was 931.6 millibars—possibly making it the lowest pressure storm to ever hit Canada, the Canadian Hurricane Centre said on Twitter Saturday. In storms, lower pressure creates ideal conditions for high wind speeds, making them more powerful and more destructive.
