Thanks to Ralph Rumill and Rainwise, we know that the maximum wind gust of 63.3 miles per hour was recorded between 6 and 7AM this morning, Thursday, October 17th in Bar Harbor

Thanks to Sharon Tozier Gilley who snapped this photo on the Manset Town Dock on Thursday, October 17th. The saying any port in the storm doesn't apply here on Thursday morning!

The Nor'Easter is playing havoc with the ships scheduled to call on Bar Harbor on Thursday, October 17th and Friday, October 18th

If you are ready to peep those leaves, you better do it quickly! There is very little leaf drop in the Bar Harbor/Ellsworth and Bangor area, but the approaching Nor'Easter is going to strip a lot of the leaves off the branches!

Park Rangers are evacuating Blackwoods Campground in Acadia National Park because of the approaching storm. According to the Facebook Post, a decision will be made on Thursday, when to reopen the campground to overnight campers.

Are you ready if the power goes out tonight or tomorrow? The National Weather Service in Caribou has issued a High Wind Watch for late tonight, Wednesday, October 16th through Thursday Afternoon October 17th for Coastal Hancock and Washington Counties.

Downeast Maine can expect some heavy winds Wednesday night into Thursday, with gusts up to 60 miles per hour on Thursday. With the trees still full of leaves and branches heavy, are you ready if the power goes out?

In my mind, I assumed we were headed for a foot of snow in October. Laugh all you want...but remember when it happened 6 years ago?

The foliage in Downeast Maine was absolutely beautiful this past weekend as evidenced by this video from MDI Aerial Photography of Northeast Creek in Bar Harbor.
