Atlantic Storm Lee Slams New England and Canada, Leaving Damaging Winds and Torrential Rains

Atlantic storm Lee weakens after causing destructive winds and torrential rains in New England and Maritime Canada. The storm is expected to dissipate early this week. Power outages have been reported in Maine and Nova Scotia, and storm surges are subsiding. One person died in Maine due to a fallen tree limb, and another person was injured when a tree fell on their vehicle. The storm has caused flooding, canceled flights, and anxiety in a region already dealing with wildfires and severe flooding. Cruise ships sought refuge, lobstermen pulled traps, and a boat sank. Lee shares similarities with Superstorm Sandy but is not as severe. Tropical Storm Nigel is strengthening but poses no immediate threat to the US or Canada.
