Swimmers in New England were warned to stay out of the water.
The National Hurricane Center said that a hurricane warning for the southeast coast of Massachusetts was reduced in size.
Many of the island’s harbors were cleared of boats.
The storm is weakening significantly as it passes over cooler water
The storm is now about 395 miles south-southwest of Nantucket, with winds of 105 m.p.h.
The Bourne and Sagamore bridges connecting Cape Cod to the rest of Massachusetts would be closed if winds got above 70 mph.
