      On September 22, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging   
      Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a   
      true-color image of Hurricane Fiona spinning over the Atlantic Ocean at   
      peak strength as a Category 4 storm. Near the time that the image was   
      acquired, Fiona carried maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (209 km/h)   
      and was located about 345 miles (555 km) west-southwest of Bermuda.   
      Rain and gusty winds were already reaching Bermuda, which can be seen   
      as a small outlined area in the clouds near the line where two swaths   
      of data have been joined.   
      
      On September 23, Tropical Cyclone Fiona weakened slightly as it passed   
      about 125 miles (201 km) west-northwest of Bermuda carrying maximum   
      sustained winds of 125 mph (201 km/h). Bermuda suffered widespread   
      power outages brought as hurricane-force gusts and sustained winds of   
      up to 70 mph (112.6 km/h) battered that country.   
      
      The storm is heading towards Canada, where it is expected to make   
      landfall over Nova Scotia as a strong extra-tropical storm. As of 11:00   
      p.m. EDT on September 23, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) advised   
      that strong winds and heavy rains were spreading over Nova Scotia,   
      while the center of Fiona was located about 140 miles (220 km) east of   
      Halifax. The storm’s maximum sustained winds were 105 mph (165 km/h),   
      which is Category 2. The Canadian Hurricane Centre has warned that   
      Fiona could be “a historic, extreme event”, bringing power outages and   
      coastal flooding to the region.
