and I thought the central coast in California got high
waves. Unbelieveable footage of this flooding. After
seeing it I texted someone I know in Maine, hoping that
they are okay. thanks for posting.

It's wild weather for Maine currently...now with new moon there will be King Tide to deal with also. ~Eve
Maine braces for historic coastal flooding as king tide and strong storm merge
Saturday's storm will challenge the all-time high water mark along the coast.
Author: Jason Nappi Published: 3:02 PM EST January 11, 2024 Updated: 5:08 PM EST January 11, 2024
PORTLAND, Maine — This storm season is already in record-breaking territory, and it’s about to get worse.
To use a Star Trek analogy (nerd alert), the Grinch Storm from Dec. 18, 2023, combined with Wednesday’s storm have wiped out the natural defenses or “force fields” along the coast. The battered coast of
Maine is a sitting duck for the upcoming Saturday storm, like the USS Enterprise with its “shields” down.
The setup is something we know all too well: The area of low pressure takes an inland runner track with a negatively tilted trough. In regular speak, that will put the coast on the warm side of the storm,
with a southeast wind developing.
Coastal flood warnings are up for the entire Maine coastline. Road damage, inundation and splash over is expected in the places where the previous two storms washed away natural defenses and flood
protection systems. Dune structures have been hit hard and may no longer provide protection needed to withstand an event like this, even with wave heights predicted to be five feet less than the last storm.
On Wednesday Portland, Maine set the record for 3rd place with a water level at 13.84 feet. That’s barely behind the infamous "Blizzard of ‘78" and the Jan. 9, 1978, storm in first and second places
respectively.
The Jan. 9, 1978, storm was overshadowed and largely forgotten because less than a month later the Blizzard of ‘78 barreled into Maine. But the January 9 storm was just as devastating at the coast with
13.98’ recorded. It’s the second highest recorded water level in Maine history.
No one will forget the snow and wind-driven cold that came with the Blizzard in 1978, but what you might overlook is the record setting high tide of 14.17 feet recorded at the Maine State Pier gauge in
Portland, Maine.
Saturday’s forecast is 14.1 feet and calls for the water level in Portland to surpass what happened a few days ago and eclipse the January 9, 1978, storm. It could even break the record for an all-time
high-water level that is 6 inches away from the forecast.
All signs point to an unprecedented event at high tide Saturday around noon. Stay with NEWSCENTER Maine for the latest details leading up to this weekend and storm coverage on Saturday.

I'm starting to wonder if we have arrived at the time
we've been warned about concerning the coasts.
