(AP) — Hurricane Lee looks poised to wallop New England later this week even as the region still deals with the impact of days of wild weather that produced torrential rain, flooding, sinkholes and a likely tornado.
Areas from Watch Hill, Rhode Island, to Stonington, Maine — including Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket — are under a tropical storm watch.
The National Weather Service in Boston said radar data and videos showed it was likely that a tornado damaged trees and power lines in Rhode Island and Connecticut on Wednesday.
Heavy rain turned his swimming pool into a mud pit and filled his basement with 3 feet (91 centimeters) of water.
In Providence, Rhode Island, downpours flooded a parking lot and parts of a shopping mall.
