Post-tropical cyclone Lee brought strong winds, heavy rain and dangerous storm surge to parts of New England and southeastern Canada this weekend, resulting in one death in Searsport, Maine. The storm had maximum sustained wind speeds of 70 miles per hour when it made landfall in Nova Scotia, just a few miles short of the threshold necessary for a Category 1 hurricane. The storm is now weakening and officials have withdrawn some warnings, expecting it to disappear early this week.
