Wind and rainstorm on January 10 caused unprecedented damage to property along Maine’s working waterfront. Maine Forest Service will conduct an aerial survey along the coast to document the damage. The 13.84-foot high tide in Portland was the third highest on record. The forecast storm for January 13 came with a projected tide 1 foot higher than January 10. Roadways and buildings from St. George through Lincolnville Beach were flooded. The Landings Marina in Rockland was heavily damaged. The pier there was destroyed and buildings were left teetering. A small cabin in Owls Head was washed off its foundation and sent onto Crescent Beach. Local fire departments responded to evacuation calls where people were trapped by rising waters.
