Work to repair damage is still underway after a powerful thunderstorm rolled over Pelletier Island in northern Aroostook County last Tuesday. The island of about 100 residential and seasonal properties located on Long Lake and surrounded by the towns of St. Agatha and Madawaska was struck by a microburst, which substantially damaged at least 10 properties. No people were injured, but a baby eagle was rescued from its nest beneath fallen debris.
