Bob Robichaud of the Canadian Hurricane Center likened the storm’s setup to Hurricane Dorian in 2019, which caused millions in damage in the Canadian Maritimes.

Fiona had already battered a series of Caribbean islands earlier in the week, killing at least eight and knocking out power for virtually all of Puerto Rico's 3.3 million people during a sweltering heat wave. Nearly a million customers remained without power five days later.

Biden noted that hundreds of FEMA and other federal officials are already on the ground in Puerto Rico, where Hurricane Fiona caused an island-wide blackout.
