Lee Strikes Canada with Near-Hurricane Force After Atlantic Ocean Journey

Post-tropical cyclone Lee made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada with near-hurricane strength, causing heavy rain, powerful winds, and dangerous storm surge. A 51-year-old man in Maine died when a tree limb fell on his vehicle during high winds. Nearly 200,000 customers lost power in Nova Scotia, and over 100,000 were without electricity in Maine. Lee also impacted Massachusetts with gusts up to 63 mph, leading to flight cancellations. President Biden approved federal emergency declarations for Massachusetts and Maine.
