Event Summary

Lee became a Post Tropical Cyclone upon entering the region, and made landfall just across the Gulf
of Maine in Nova Scotia. Widespread tropical storm strength wind gusts were felt as far inland as
southern Aroostook County, with heavy rainfall of 3 to 6 inches across much of the Downeast region.
Heavy rainfall led to flash flooding and multiple road closures, and tropical storm force wind gusts led
to many downed trees and power lines, especially across the Downeast region and along the coast.
Only three injuries were reported: one due to a tree falling through a moving vehicle, and two
occurring when a lobster boat capsized due to a rogue wave. There were no known fatalities in the
region.

NOTE: It is unlikely that the point-based observations provided in this report sampled the peak values for the event.
