I just got back from the 2 cent in Waterville and the kennebec is touching the bottom. Last time I seen it this high was the 87 flood.

I live in Maine and last years thanksgiving was probably the worst,

At 22 seconds in, that's my office entrance! There's a good 8 ft drop where the parking lot and dumpsters are and where we installed a key box to get in. RIP little key box and dumpsters!
The irony is that I own a property maintenance company and have an office on the main floor and hopefully my tools survived. I was working in Rumford during the storm, but left early driving through the storm encountering every road block situation possible. Now I can't get back to retrieve those tools at that property because its still an evacuation situation and I need them to make repairs in Bangor! I'd just grab the others in augusta, but um...as you can see they may be wet. 😂😢

Not a winter storm. Winter starts tomorrow.

Update: the elevator is fried and it stinks of oil. Heating oil. Also the ramp is gone. 😢
