PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 13, 2024
A winter storm that could bring serious flooding to coastal Maine already had closed several roads and brought wind gusts upwards of 60 mph in some places Saturday as residents braced for impacts ahead of the noon high tide. Forecasters have warned that the storm could bring unprecedented flooding as it coincides with the monthly astronomical high tide. It also comes on the heels of another wind and rain storm that caused damage in many parts of the state earlier this week.
