While the January 10th storm was historic and destroyed properties up and down the coast from the tidal surges expect the storm heading to Maine tomorrow to be worse. Maine Emergency Management warns people living in coastal communities to stay in place.
“High tides, heavy surf and wind-swept waves could make the coast extremely dangerous. For their safety we urge citizens to stay away from the coastline during this significant storm,” said Peter Rogers, director of the Maine Emergency Management Agency. “Coastal residents need to make plans now for flooding, possible road closures, and always follow guidance from local officials.”
Already damaged infrastructure from the previous storm will make matters worse as the barriers to coastal flooding are down.
“I strongly urge Maine people, particularly those along the coast, to take this storm seriously, to prepare for it, and to follow the advice of local emergency management officials,” said Gov. Janet Mills said in a statement. “We are encouraging people to stay away from the coast if possible. While the storm surge will likely be smaller than earlier this week, we are expecting a larger swing in the tides which means that folks should expect serious flooding again. With high winds, there is also the likelihood of power outages.”
