The storm is moving toward New England and eastern Canada with heavy winds, high seas and rain.
The US National Hurricane Centre downgraded Hurricane Lee to a post-tropical cyclone but millions of people remained under storm watches and warnings early on Saturday as the storm still could produce hurricane-force winds, torrential rain and coastal flooding.
Severe conditions were predicted as a possibility across portions of Massachusetts and Maine and hurricane conditions could hit the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where the storm had been predicted to make landfall later on Saturday. The storm was located about 230 miles south-west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and about 220 miles south-east of Eastport, Maine on Saturday morning.
There were more than 11,000 power outages from Massachusetts to Maine early on Saturday. The wind had picked up and rain moved into eastern Massachusetts. The hurricane centre predicted hurricane-force winds extending more than 100 miles from Lee’s centre with lesser but still dangerous tropical storm-force gusts up to 345 miles outward.
