"Maine's Historic Storm Causes Massive Outages and Road Closures"
The recent storm in Maine resulted in massive power outages and showcased the power of local waterways. The author reflects on the darkness brought about by the storm and the need to embrace it. The river between Topsham and Brunswick was observed flowing aggressively, with impressive falls and cascades. Reversing falls along the coast, such as Cobscook Falls, provide an opportunity to witness the dramatic changes in water caused by the tide. Maine is the only state on the East Coast with reversing falls, thanks to its geology. The author suggests taking the time to appreciate the power of nature as a celebration of the winter solstice.
