Fiona, a category 4 hurricane turned post-tropical cyclone storm, barrelled through Atlantic Canada leaving behind flooded streets, wrecked homes and towns in darkness. CTVNews.ca looks at the data behind the destruction.
Fiona left an impressionable mark on Canada’s east coast as the category 4 hurricane turned post-tropical cyclone storm made landfall over the weekend.
Dan Kottlowksi, meteorologist and lead hurricane forecaster at Accuweather says this was a new record for Canada, which had only previously reached a low of 940.2 millibars. “What I was so surprised about is how long the tropical storm to hurricane force winds occurred and a lot of places in Cape Breton Island and southwest and western Newfoundland, those hurricane to near-hurricane force winds lasted for more than eight hours,” he said.
