Looks like Tor touched down in South Coventry and possibly Columbia . Same general area that had one a couple years ago 

Big white pine across someone's driveway about 1/4 mile north of where that one crossed on rt 31

Maybe it finally blew that guys deck awning out of the tree that's been there since the last one.

That one sounded like it hit the chimney

Phones went off for tor

Hanging in Watch Hill. Big bass everywhere 

Anyone surfcasting there or is it too rocky?

Perfect day

Damariscotta area. Up on the lake, in town, or down to Round Pond.

Absolutely dumping rain here as we hit 1”

Only .58 so far here in the lowlands at 667' 

This is good advice from a ServiceMaster website ...

"Flooded Basement: Safety First

Safety should always be the top priority. Walking on a wet basement floor can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. Before you walk onto a flooded basement floor, check for the following:

What’s the risk of electric shock? If you can safely get to the main breaker box, turn off the power before you go to the basement. If the breaker box is in the basement, call the power company or an electrician.

Is there a gas smell? Gas leaks are extremely dangerous. If you smell gas, immediately leave the building and call the utility company from a nearby home or business. Evacuate anyone else who may be in the building.

Is the water contaminated? Flood water can be contaminated with chemicals and biohazards like raw sewage, which pose serious health risks to people and animals. Stay away from contaminated water, and anything that’s been in contact with it. Make sure kids and animals keep their distance too.

Is the flooded basement still structurally sound? If there’s any doubt at all about the integrity of the basement or the house itself, stay out! Have the structure inspected before reentry."

Lock it up.

You’re probably right and I suppose that will  discourage smaller dispensaries from opening in that part of the state.

So will the state get any tax money off that?

No they would not. But it’s still only under consideration. 

Just now, Ginx snewx said:

Opens in the spring.

Do you have a link that it’s been finalized?

Foxwoods is building a 25,000 sq foot dispensary with 2 drive thru windows 

I though that was just in the possibility phase. 

The wind didn’t seem that strong here compared to other storms but our yard is a freaking mess. Two trees down and several limbs 15-20 long. We’ve had a lot of wind here over the years but never this about of tree damage. Maybe because the wind came from a direction that the trees aren’t used to. Power is on but no cable/internet.
