Ahead of Hurricane Fiona's landfall, residents are wondering how this storm could compare to two other big weather events in Nova Scotia's history: Hurricane Juan in 2003 and Hurricane Dorian in 2019. "Will it be as strong as [Hurricane] Juan when Juan made landfall in 2003 where there were some extreme winds, but they were concentrated over a small area?"

Hurricane Dorian© Ryan Snoddon/CBC Hurricane Dorian brought more widespread damage than Juan. Nova Scotia Power says Hurricane Dorian was by far the most damaging storm the utility ever dealt with — a title that was once held by Juan.
