"Maine Residents Prepare for Coastal Flooding Amid Severe Storms"
Residents in South Portland, particularly those living on Willard Beach, are bracing for more coastal flooding as another storm approaches. With homes, yards, and roads already flooded, residents are taking measures to protect their properties, including reinforcing banks with boulders. Concerns about potential long-term damage have prompted calls for the city to consider options such as building a seawall along the beach. The city plans to assess the damage and discuss potential solutions once the extent of dune erosion has been evaluated, as previous efforts to repair the dunes were largely washed away in the recent storm.
