Hurricane Fiona pummeled Bermuda early Friday as it heads towards Canada as a category 3 storm.
Fiona, downgraded to a Category 3 hurricane, pounded Bermuda with heavy rains and winds early Friday as it swept by the island on a route forecast to have it approaching northeastern Canada late in the day as a still-powerful storm.
The U.S. center said Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 125mph early Friday morning. It was centered about 155 miles west of Bermuda, heading north-northeast at 25 mph . Amanda McDougall, mayor of Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said officials were preparing a shelter for people to enter before the storm arrived.
Speaking at a briefing with Federal Emergency Management Agency officials in New York, Biden said, "We're all in this together." "Everyone goes over there," she said pointing toward crews at the bottom of the mountain who were helping others also cut off by the storm. "No one comes here to see us. I am worried for all the elderly people in this community."
