| episode_narrative | On May 23rd, a strong coastal low pressure system developed just off the Maine coast. High astronomical tides combined with strong northeast winds and large ocean waves to produce wind damage, coastal flooding and beach erosion. The tide gauge in Portland harbor reached 12.2 feet which was slightly above the 12.0 foot flood stage. Coastal flooding occurred in both York and Cumberland Counties, with a significant flood inundation in the Camp Ellis area. Damage to public and private property was estimated to be about a million dollars. Shore road in Saco was washed away. Gooch's Beach in Kennebunk had its seawall damaged. In addition in York County, numerous trees were blown down causing power outages affecting 15 to 20 thousand people. In Portland, several yachts were sunk and docks were damaged at a local marina due to the wind and waves. A 47 foot Coast Guard boat ran aground in Casco Bay while attempting to rescue people on a sailboat. A spotter in Pebbles Cove in Cape Elizabeth reported a wind gust of 62 mph. |
