PLYMOUTH (WBZ NewsRadio) — With Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee pushing further north and away from Massachusetts Saturday, residents on the South Shore shrugged their shoulders at the storm's severity, or lack thereof.
"Yeah this is not anything that should be a problem," Plymouth resident Eric told WBZ NewsRadio Saturday morning at White Horse Beach. A veteran of many South Shore coastal storms, Eric was less than impressed with the high winds and large waves that Lee had to offer.
"In the winter, it gets just as windy," Eric said. "A piece of cake so far, I think."
Further up Route 3 at Brant Rock in Marshfield, waves crashed into the seawall and soaked some onlookers. Resident Brian said Lee was nothing compared to the powerful nor'easter that slammed into Marshfield in Oct. 2021, causing extensive damage.
"The transformer blew in our street," Brian recalled. "Actually if you go over here to the edge of the park, you can still see the water damage from the high tide."
The bulk of Lee's impact was felt on the Cape and Islands, with reports of heavy bands of rain, strong wind gusts, and thousands of power outages.
