The 12th Tropical Depression was upgraded to a named storm as it continued to strengthen in the tropical waters of the Atlantic. After growing to hurricane strength, it has weakened to a tropical storm again, but is expected to regain hurricane strength. It is continuing northward towards Newfoundland, Canada, after dumping rain and high winds on Bermuda for the last couple of days. Other than some downed trees and power outages, Leslie didn't cause any major damage.
