Atlantic Canada provinces issued warnings for residents to stay indoors, keep supplies for 72 hours, and avoid coastlines and rivers as Hurricane Fiona is expected to make landfall on Saturday morning in Nova Scotia.

Hurricane Fiona was about 900 kilometres to the south of Halifax as of midday Friday, moving northeast at 56 kilometres per hour.

Canadian Hurricane Centre meteorologist Bob Robichaud gave an update on Friday, describing it as a “historic”, “very powerful” post-tropical storm.

“Severe winds and rainfall will have major impacts for eastern Prince Edward Island, eastern Nova Scotia, southern and eastern New Brunswick, western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec, and southeastern Labrador,” the Canadian Hurricane Centre said.

Fiona is expected to move northward across Nova Scotia waters Friday night, passing through cape Breton Saturday morning, then reaching the lower north shore of Quebec and southeastern Labrador early Sunday.
