Balanced News: ‘It’s gigantic’: Hurricane Lee heads for New England and Atlantic Canada

Hurricane Lee, previously a Category 5 storm, is heading towards New England and Atlantic Canada. While it has weakened to a Category 1 storm, it is still expected to bring tropical-storm-force winds, rain, waves, and potentially catastrophic storm surge to parts of Massachusetts, Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. There is particular concern for the Bay of Fundy, which holds the record for the highest tides in the world, where Lee’s winds could cause record flooding. The storm’s impacts will be felt over a large area, and its arrival in already waterlogged regions increases the risk of flooding and damage.
