Hurricane Fiona: Canadians reflect on wrath of storm in Dominican Republic

Hurricane Fiona has battered the Dominican Republic and other parts of the Caribbean.

Belleville, Ont., native Mike Bryant has lived in the Dominican Republic for nearly two decades. He operates a tour company in Punta Cana, and felt the impact of Hurricane Fiona first-hand.

Some communities saw homes damaged or destroyed. In and around his own area, Bryant described downed signs and scattered tree branches.

Those were just some of the remnants of the storm now surging in strength toward Atlantic Canada.

“Fiona was a whole different breed,” he described in an interview with Global News. “Much, much stronger. Much more deliberate. I only slept maybe an hour and a half with one eye open through the night as she basically pounded on us.”

Shallima Maharaj has some stories from Canadians following the hurricane's wrath in the Caribbean.
