Maine Coastal Communities Grapple with Storm Damage

Old Orchard Beach residents are still dealing with extensive flooding and damage from the recent storms, with some neighborhoods near the ocean remaining underwater. The force of the water has left residents stranded and caused significant damage to homes and garages. The storm also pushed benches off the beach and into shrubs, leaving behind a mess for residents to clean up. The saturated ground from previous snow made it difficult for the water to drain, adding to the challenges faced by coastal communities in Maine.
