ME II: Stormy wonderful day...

· Maine Event

It rained all night and all day. It was hard enough in the night that it woke us up. We went on a quick walk in the gentle rain in the morning and got utterly soaked. Then I was cold all day even though it wasn't a particularly cold storm. The daytime wind and torrential rain were intense, and the big trees were laying sideways and being tossed about. We received 2.5'' of rain but it felt like much more. Many leaves are now on the ground. The low was 56° and the high 65°. The rain stopped about 6pm and it was warm and kind of muggy. It made me feel like salamander weather. We have a few rain-free days coming up and then more rain on Monday. It's Friday so I'm keeping this short. Work is keeping me extra busy.

Here is an article about the flooding in Old Port. They are also reporting about 100,000 people in Maine have lost power from this wide-ranging storm.

Foggy, windy, rainy Harbor View Park. The storm has covered up the islands, the river and the industry.
The backdrop here is almost all industry - where cargo ships load.
This tree has just popped overnight. I love the tree/house combo.
Rainy day at home.
Rainy day still at home.

Wet color.
Beautiful streets.
This foggy red object is part of the tower to warn flying vehicles that the hospital is there. They receive a lot of medical airlifts.
Beautiful Spring St.
More beautiful Spring St.

Have an evening filled with beauty.
