@NHC_Pacific I just smashed my desk of my family because of the NHC naming this Kenneth. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This agency has ruined my life and my family. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye, I am no longer a fan.

@NWSGray my weather station broke (not because of the storm) but i would have to guess 1 or 2 gusts of 45-50mph!

[George Johnson @MEweathergeorge]

Winds starting to roar here, still have not lost power maximum gust so far i would say 40-45mph. trees starting to bend heavily @NWSGray #HurricaneLee #tropicalstormlee

[George Johnson @MEweathergeorge]

Definitely starting to feel like a tropical storm here in Sabattus,Maine having gusts of 30-35mph now. #tropicalstormlee #HurricaneLee @NWSGray

[George Johnson @MEweathergeorge]

@NWSGray 4:30am, Sabattus,Maine. still pretty quite here, winds of 10-15 with gusts to 20.

[NWS Caribou @NWSCaribou]

We continue to be concerned about Wind Gusts today across Eastern & Northeast #Maine from #HurricaneLee. We expect decent mixing of the atmosphere to result in wind gusts 45-55mph in many locations with some gusts 60-70mph Downeast. Tree Damage is a serious concern. #MEwx

Hey Reed! I was thinking about possibly intercepting Hurricane Lee in downeast Maine (I live about 4 hours away), I am in a rather small car so I am a bit worried, but I was wondering what you think and where the target area would be, thanks!
