Fiona hit Puerto Rico on Sunday, five years after Hurricane Maria knocked out all power on the island.

Hurricane Fiona was now passing Bermuda as it headed for Nova Scotia in Canada, classed as a major hurricane with winds of up to 125 miles per hour . The storm has killed at least eight people.

There were roughly 1.033 million customers without power early Thursday out of 1.468 million total customers, according to Poweroutages.com. It took PREPA about 11 months to restore power to all customers, but Maria was a much more powerful storm than Fiona. LUMA Energy said late Thursday that it restored service to nearly 474,300 customers. LUMA has said"full restoration could take several days."
