Lee's Path of Destruction: From New England to Canada
Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee is battering the Canadian Maritimes and New England with near-hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, and power outages affecting over 230,000 people. Although the storm is no longer classified as a tropical cyclone, it still possesses the strength of a category 1 hurricane, with winds reaching 80 mph. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are experiencing significant power outages, while more than 85,000 households in New England, primarily in Maine, are also affected. The storm is expected to bring strong wind gusts, posing a risk to trees and power lines. Coastal areas are facing storm surge and large, destructive waves, with Downeast Maine expected to see the highest waves. The storm is forecasted to rapidly improve as it moves northeast through the Canadian Maritimes.
