Canada is bracing for a direct hit from Hurricane Fiona.

Earlier, the Category 4 storm rattled residents of Bermuda with heavy rains and gusts.

Authorities there battened down the hatches by opening shelters and shutting schools and offices ahead of the storm's relentless strike.

Fiona bore down on the region with maximum 125 miles per hour sustained winds.

So far, Fiona is responsible for five deaths, two in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic respectively, and one on the French Island of Guadeloupe.

Now, it's on track to intimidate Canada, where hurricanes are truly rare.
