Winds gusting to 100 kilometres an hour winds expected along the coast, and winds of 60 to 80 kilometres an hour are likely in other areas, Leavitt said. Leavitt, Public Safety Minister Kris Austin, New Brunswick EMO manager Pete Lussier and an N.B. Power official took part in a Lee briefing on Thursday.
She said past major hurricanes including Dorian and Fiona have "proven that we don't know what's going to happen."Leavitt recommended people prepare for the storm by cleaning up around their properties, clearing catch basins and gutters, cutting down dead tree branches and getting an emergency kit.
