Hurricane Fiona Strengthens As It Heads To Bermuda
Newsy
Fiona was a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph Wednesday morning and is expected to approach Bermuda late Thursday or Friday.
Hurricane Fiona strengthened into a Category 4 storm Wednesday after devastating Puerto Rico, then lashing the Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was forecast to squeeze past Bermuda later this week.
The storm has been blamed for directly causing at least four deaths in its march through the Caribbean, where winds and torrential rain in Puerto Rico left a majority of people on the U.S. territory without power or running water. Hundreds of thousands of people scraped mud out of their homes following what authorities described as “historic” flooding.
