Lee transitions to post-tropical storm as it moves closer to landfall in Atlantic Canada

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thousands of homes in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are without power as Hurricane Lee moves closer to making landfall in Atlantic Canada.

According to CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon, the storm track has shifted east since yesterday, and it is now expected to make landfall in the southwest of Nova Scotia, near Baccaro Point in the Municipality of the District of Barrington.

Some parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick began feeling the impact of the storm on Friday night before its expected landfall.

In a release Saturday morning, Nova Scotia Power said the outages are the result of downed trees and strong winds of up to 100 km/h in the western part of the province, and up to 90 km/h in downtown Halifax.

"Especially when winds are above 80 km/h, it isn't safe for our crews to be up in the buckets, so we focus on assessing damage and restoring power from the ground where possible," Matt Drover, the organization's storm lead, said in the release.

In a post to social media on Friday night, Public Safety Canada advised people to avoid non-essential travel and conserve their phone batteries as much possible during the storm.
