With gusts at 160 km / h, Fiona had passed, this Friday, September 23, in category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale which is 4. Off the coast of Bermuda, the cyclone has wreaked havoc in the Caribbean where no casualties or greater damage is been observed. Electricity supplier Belco said 15,000 of the 36,000 homes in this British territory were left without electricity on Friday afternoon. Electricity was therefore quickly restored in many areas.
“We had some small damage to our premises, but nothing serious”Jason Rainer, owner of a gift shop in the capital Hamilton, told AFP, noting that some doors and windows had still been torn off. To date, Fiona has claimed the lives of four people in Puerto Rico, one in Guadeloupe (France) and two in the Dominican Republic.
