Title: Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee Makes Landfall in Nova Scotia, Causing Power Outages and Minimal Damage
Post-tropical cyclone Lee recently made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, after impacting New England and eastern Canada. Although downgraded from hurricane status, Lee still had winds of about 70mph, causing power outages and flooded coastal roads in Nova Scotia. As the storm crossed over to Canada, it left one casualty in its wake, as a tree limb fell onto a passing vehicle in Maine, resulting in a fatality.
Tropical storm warnings were issued for areas in New Hampshire-Maine, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, prompting President Joe Biden to declare a state of emergency in Maine. The National Hurricane Center warned of heavy rainfall and life-threatening surf conditions, urging residents to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.
Due to prolonged rainfall and saturated ground, the risk of downed trees and power outages in Maine escalated. Canadian authorities echoed similar concerns, urging people to stay at home and avoid venturing outside. However, officials predict that Lee will not be as devastating as last year’s Hurricane Fiona, offering a glimmer of relief to those in the storm’s path.
It is worth noting that the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season has been described as unprecedented due to warm sea surface temperatures caused by the ongoing climate crisis. The combination of these factors has contributed to the intensity and frequency of storms in recent years.
Surprisingly, some locals in Maine appeared unfazed by the approaching storm, while others expressed disappointment over the lack of severe conditions. Nevertheless, it is crucial for residents to remain cautious, as the situation is still developing.
