IWe’re under a wind advisory until noon today and it’s been raining steadily all morning. However, the first nor’easter of the season apparently has yet to do significant damage here on the Down East coast. Our local weather station in central Brooklin shows that our highest gusts never quite reached 50 miles per hour in the early morning hours and that the wind speed seems to be subsiding.
In the image above, you see the rain coming down this morning on our garden, fields, and in Great Cove. We’re still getting occasional rainy wind gusts in the 30s that are proving to be leaf-rippers:
We never lost power here on the Naskeag Peninsula and few trees apparently came down in all of Brooklin. But news reports indicate that there were some significant power outages in other parts of Maine and especially along the coastal areas in states south of us.
