Here we see Mount Cadillac in Acadia National Park, as viewed yesterday afternoon from Amen Farm Ridge in Brooklin.
The Park has suffered serious storm damage this month. Yesterday’s official Acadia Conditions Report shows many historic carriage roads and popular trails closed for repairs, as well as a beach hazard warning that was in operation all day.
Most of the damage was done by a June 9 hurricane-like storm that bombarded the Park with almost five inches of rain in a few hours. Saturday (June 19), a tornado cell hailstorm in our area added insult to the injuries, but it did leave behind a glorious rainbow.
The Park Report warns: “Be prepared for quick weather changes from warm and sunny to cold and rainy. Weather on Cadillac Mountain and Acadia's other mountain peaks can be drastically different from temperatures in Bar Harbor or elsewhere on the island.” The Park and Bar Harbor are on Mount Desert Island, across Blue Hill Bay to the Northeast of us.
