In 1987, A Great Flood Swept Through Maine And Changed The State Forever
Between blizzards and hurricanes (yep, happened!), Maine has had its fair share of wacky weather. Not to mention the regular winters and foggy summer mornings we face regularly. Despite being able to handle just about anything, there are some weather tales that have stuck in our memories. This 1987 flood in Maine is recent enough that most everyone we know experienced it in some way or another. Did you?
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.
