Hurricane Lee wreaks havoc across Atlantic and Canada before dissipating

Atlantic storm Lee, which made landfall with near-hurricane strength, brought destructive winds and heavy rains to New England and Maritime Canada. The storm has weakened and is expected to dissipate early this week. Power outages have been reported in some areas, but the situation is improving. Storm surges are subsiding, and warnings have been lifted in certain regions. Lee caused one fatality in Maine and disrupted transportation and flights. The storm comes after a summer of severe flooding and wildfires in the region. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nigel is strengthening but poses no immediate threat to the US or Canada.
