A 51-year-old man died in Searsport, Maine after a large tree branch fell on his car on US Highway 1.
The branch brought down live power lines as it fell, and utility workers had to turn off the power before the man could be removed from his car.All flights out of Halifax Stanfield International Airport were cancelled, and a number of roads were flooded.
Storm Lee headed north towards New Brunswick and the Gulf of St Lawrence, causing ferries to be cancelled. Hurricane-force winds extended as far as 140 miles from Lee’s centre with tropical storm-force winds extending as far as 320 miles – enough to cover all of Maine and much of Maritime Canada with power outages covering several hundred miles.
At noon on Saturday, 11% of electricity customers in Maine lacked power, along with 27% of Nova Scotia, 8% of New Brunswick and 3% of Prince Edward Island.More:
