Residents of Canada brace for what could be the strongest storm to ever hit their country as a hurricane heads north after hitting the Caribbean.
Hurricane Fiona has caused extensive damage in the Caribbean and shows no signs of abating as it is expected to hit the Atlantic coast of Canada midday Saturday.
The Canadian Hurricane Center warned that Fiona could be a "historic and extreme event" and warned residents of potential coastal flooding, power outages and dangerous driving conditions.
At least eight people in the Caribbean have already died.
The storm will likely affect parts of the country, including Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, southeastern New Brunswick, western and southwestern Newfoundland and parts of Quebec bordering the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
