		</div><p>Strong rains and winds lashed the Atlantic Canada region as Fiona closed in early Saturday as a big, powerful post-tropical cyclone, and Canadian forecasters warned it could be one of the most severe storms in the country’s history.</p>
<p>Fiona transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical storm late Friday, but meteorologists cautioned that it still could have hurricane-strength winds and would bring drenching rains and huge waves.</p>
<p>More than 250,000 Nova Scotia Power customers, about half of all customers in the province, were affected by outages just past 1am local time.</p>
<p>The tally rose by another 28,000 by the end of the hour.</p>
<p>The fast-moving Fiona was forecast to make landfall in Nova Scotia before dawn Saturday, with its power down from the Category 4 strength it had early Friday when passing by Bermuda, though officials there reported no serious damage.</p>
<p>The Canadian Hurricane Centre issued a hurricane watch for coastal expanses of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.</p>
<p>The US National Hurricane Centre said Fiona should reach the area as a “large and powerful post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds”.</p>
<p>“It’s going to a bad one,” said prime minister Justin Trudeau, who decided to delay his trip to Japan for the funeral for assassinated former prime minister Shinzo Abe.</p>
<p>“We of course hope there won’t be much needed, but we feel there probably will be,” Mr Trudeau said.</p>
<p>“Listen to the instructions of local authorities and hang in there for the next 24 hours.”</p>
