Fiona broke many records
Hurricane Fiona made landfall as a post-tropical cyclone with Category 2 hurricane-strength winds about 30 km southwest of the town of Canso, Nova Scotia, during the early morning of September 24.
With a measured sea-level pressure of 932.7 mb, Fiona has the lowest recorded barometric pressure over Canadian land. For mid-latitude cyclones, the deeper the low, the stronger the storm is, which explains Fiona's severity.
