Hurricane Lee has caused power outages and downed trees as it approaches New England and eastern Canada. The storm, which has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone, is expected to bring Hurricane conditions to the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. States of emergency have been declared in Massachusetts and Maine, where trees have been weakened by heavy rains. Cruise ships have sought refuge and lobstermen have pulled their traps out of the water. The storm has already affected the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and Bermuda, and is expected to bring dangerous surf and heavy rain to coastal areas.
