SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The outer bands of Hurricane Lee are starting to lash Bermuda as big surf pounded the island, with the Category 2 storm expected to make landfall on the coast of New England or Atlantic Canada over the weekend. The storm was located about 380 miles south-southwest of Bermuda on Wednesday. It had winds of up to 105 miles per hour. Lee is expected to pass just west of Bermuda late Thursday, prompting forecasters to issue a tropical storm warning for the island. It’s then expected to keep traveling north before approaching the coast of New England or Atlantic Canada on Friday or Saturday. A hurricane watch was issued for portions of down-east Maine from Stonington to the U.S.-Canadian border.
