Thank you for your concern. Lee is actually very closely watched by the Capital Weather Gang (mets of the WaPo), and others on the east coast.

The immense majority of hurricanes on the Lee track go out to sea. Only a small number have bucked that trend, such as Florence in 2018. Currently, mets think that if Lee makes landfall, it might make landfall in Nova Scotia. The problem is that only a tiny change in track can veer him anywhere into the US east coast.

The general concern here is that climate change triggers more rapid intensification, and intense major hurricanes (cat 4 or 5) tend to be more unpredictable in their tracks than less intense ones, because our current models aren't that great at accurately handling monsters.

So...

It's too early to buy for power outages, because you might prepare for nothing. I'd say the exception is trying to trim your trees! If you can schedule that before next week, then yes, that might be useful to do regardless. But this is an ongoing maintenance you should always do regularly anyway.
