Tens of thousands of people across a wide area were left without power as post-tropical cyclone makes landfall.
People watch rough surf and waves, remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, crash along the shore of Bailey Island, Maine, on Saturday
Weakening as it headed north to New Brunswick and the Gulf of St Lawrence, Lee flooded coastal roads in Novia Scotia with ferries and all flights out of Halifax Stanfield International Airport 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.
The storm skirted some of the most waterlogged areas of Massachusetts which experienced severe flash flooding days earlier, when fast water washed out roads, caused sinkholes, damaged homes and flooded vehicles.
