Thousands remained without power Sunday as post\u002Dtropical storm Lee gradually moved out of the Maritimes.
A man struggles to walk through strong winds in Halifax, during post-tropical storm Lee on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023.“There is no question we had pretty close to a direct hit,” said Andy Blackmer, commodore of the Shelburne Harbour Yacht Club. “Significant winds with a very high tide and storm surge on top of that flooded low lying areas and some town infrastructure was damaged.”
Blackmer said the conditions improved during high tide in the evening, sparing the town any further damage from ocean waters. Nova Scotia Power said it had about 800 people working in communities across the province to restore electricity. At the height of the storm on Saturday, it said about 277,000 customers were affected by powerful winds that caused trees to come down on power lines.
On New Brunswick’s Grand Manan Island, which saw upwards of 100 millimetres of rain, village Mayor Bonnie Morse said there had been no reports of major flooding.
