Historic October wind storm hit Maine one year ago

One year ago Maine experienced one of the most damaging wind storms in history.

PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER Maine) — One year ago Maine experienced one of the most damaging wind storms in history.

Wind gusts peaked over 70 mph, and nearly 560,000 customers between Central Maine Power and Emera Maine lost electricity. All corners of the state were affected.

Gusts in this range are not unheard of, but they are rare. What made this storm even more unique was the wind direction. South to southeast gusts of this magnitude are rarely if ever.

Some homes and business were without power for more than a week.
