Due to the heavy rains overnight there are a number of roads that have flooded. At this hour, we know that the buses from the town of Mt. Desert are going to be significantly delayed because of rerouting around sound drive. For approximate adjusted pickup times you can contact Leon Sargent at MDES at lsargent@mdirss.org.
It is possible that other bus runs will experience delays as well.
Students driving to school should be aware of the conditions, take caution if driving through water, and leave extra time to arrive safely.

There are numerous reports of other washouts and pictures on the Facebook Group Downeast Maine Traffic and Road Conditions

According to Todd Simcox from WABI-TV and the CW, weather observers reported 4 inches of rain in Harrington and 5.13 inches of rain in Jonesboro. Simcox estimated from radar images that the Island received 3 to 4.5 inches of rain
