No major incidents reported as Lee leaves P.E.I. relatively intact

Weather forecasters on Prince Edward Island predicted post-tropical storm Lee would be nowhere near as devastating as Fiona or Dorian, and they were correct.

The storm blew through the region on Saturday, knocking out power and affecting travel to and from the Island.

Flights have resumed at Charlottetown Airport, and only a couple hundred residents were without power Sunday morning.

RCMP reported no major incidents overnight when winds were expected to hit 90 km/h in some parts of the Island.

There was minimal debris to be moved from Charlottetown streets, and the water and sewer utility reported no issues, according to Charlottetown Fire Chief Tim Mamye.

It's a sharp contrast to Fiona one year ago, which left the entire Island without power, some for several days, and caused widespread devastation to the landscape. Some homeowners are still waiting on repairs from that storm.

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia appeared to get the worst of Lee.

Maritime Electric had 10 crews working overnight to respond to outages, according to a spokesperson.

The Sunday morning ferry crossing between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia, as well as the noon crossing, have been cancelled due to lingering high winds.

Some events, such as the 70-mile yard sale, were postponed but others, including the International Shellfish Festival, went ahead despite the weather.
