Video shows collapsed houses and washed-out roads in southern Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona hit the island this week, leaving many neighborhoods without water or electricity.

MORE: The U.S. National Hurricane Center on Thursday issued a hurricane warning for Bermuda through Friday as Hurricane Fiona continues moving north.

In its latest forecast, the hurricane center reports Fiona remains a powerful Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 215 kilometers. According to the last report, the storm was 735 km southwest of Bermuda. Its current path and speed would take it just to the west of Bermuda late Thursday.

While Fiona will spare the island a direct hit, the acting chief of the hurricane center in Miami, Eric Blake, told the Reuters news agency that Bermuda will see high surf, storm surges, heavy rainfall and powerful winds by late Thursday.

By late Friday and early Saturday, the storm is likely to pass over Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and western Newfoundland in northeastern Canada, where forecasters say seven to 15 centimeters of rain are expected, with a local maximum of 25 cms.
