Here we go again, “Hurricane Lee” is set to strike the North American east coast just a couple weeks after Hurricane Idalia. The storm is projected to hit the east coast around the week of September 10. The storm started around Africa and developed into a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean, it surfaced into a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday. It’s a bit too early to project fully where along the east coast the storm will hit as of September 8th.
Forecasters believe a proper path will come around the weekend before the storm will hit. Many projected paths for Hurricane Lee have it going up north but a few possible paths still have this storm hitting Florida. The storm increased to Category 4 on September 8. Overnight on Thursday, September 7th to early morning on September 8th, it peaked to category 5 with winds reaching up to 165 mph, but the storm went back down to category 4 winds a few hours later.
As of writing this on September 8, all this could be completely wrong, there is a lot we don’t know about this storm. The storm may not even hit the U.S. given the current jet stream and scientific facts, many meteorologists think some U.S. east coast states will be affected but not the storm will drift to the Canadian area saying, “The center of Lee is forecast to make landfall in Atlantic Canada later this afternoon,”. Jumping forward about 6 days, the path is set in stone, the hurricane will affect the Northern East Coast of the U.S. and Canada area. Lee has currently been downgraded to a category 2. Now people just have to wait to see what destruction this storm will do.
