Hurricane Lee was barreling towards New England and eastern Canada as a powerful Category 1 storm early Saturday, forcing fishermen to flee from its path and retreat back to their harbors.
Lee was packing 80 mph winds and creating 20-feet ocean swells in the northern Atlantic as it churned up the coast, where it’s supposed to weaken slightly to a tropical storm before smashing into Nova Scotia sometime Saturday afternoon.

Cat 1? Oh please.
Actually it's a fairly weak category 1 hurricane.
“The Perfect Storm”
A “tropical storm” is going to “smash” into Nova Scotia!!!! Oh nooooosssss!!!
Time to get right with Jesus.
Climate change!!!!!!!!!!
Tax us more, quick!
Aren’t you worried about the windmills?
High tide in the Bay of Fundy will be interesting.
SCARY STUFF!!
“barreling”
“powerful Category 1 storm”
“forcing fishermen to flee”
“packing 80 mph winds
“churned up the coast”
“smashing into Nova Scotia”
I just love it when they let grade school kids write the news. They are learning adjectives and adverbs this week.
Here in Florida we don’t get real excited about a Cat 1, we just prepare.
I hope this storm doesn’t wash away all the gold and treasure the guys have found on Oak Island.
Oh wait...
It is no longer a tropical system.
“ Aren’t you worried about the windmills?”
Just about the blades flying off and killing people.
Right, it’s now a post-tropical cyclone. Still some high winds but it’s starting to break down and NOAA no longer categorizes it as a hurricane.
I am typing this from a dog show in Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod.
Slept last night in a RV on site.
The show was delayed by about 1 1/2 hours so the tent company could okay the tents.
It was actually worse Wednesday night.
We had much stronger thunder storms.
I am waiting to see Jim Cantore do a live broadcast from the Coast Guard base at Chatham.
Um, the phrase “New England” predates the United States. It described all the English colonies in the New World.
YMMV.
I'm in MA, about 17 miles from the ocean, I'm not on Cape Cod, and right now it's not raining and the wind is barely blowing, it's been like this most of the morning, wind isn't strong enough to bring down a tree branch, but, OMG OMG we need more fear porn. I did see on tv the reporters at the ocean down the Cape and the winds were a lot stronger than what we have here, but, I've seen worse winds during the winter. They're predicting wave heights of up to 15 feet for Maine along with power outages. I haven't heard of any power outages here in MA.
