New England harbors and fishing villages are being emptied of boats — becoming ghost towns — as the region prepares for Hurricane Lee
Severe Weather Massachusetts
A tropical storm warning was in place from Maine to Massachusetts, but forecasters removed a hurricane watch for eastern Maine, as the storm with 20-foot ocean swells approached. Forecasters said there would be winds topping 40 mph across an area spanning more than 400 miles ahead of landfall Saturday afternoon.
While landfall was projected for nearby Nova Scotia, the Category 1 system was big enough to cause concerns over a wide area even if it weakens to a tropical storm. Parts of coastal Maine could see waves up to 15 feet high crashing down, causing erosion and damage, and the powerful gusts will cause power outages in a state where the ground is already saturated from rain, said Louise Fode, a National Weather Service meteorologist. Up to 4 inches of rain was forecast for eastern Maine.
