The storm that moved in Wednesday has finally come to an end.
The rain wrapped up by sunrise Thursday morning. The entire state was placed under a flood watch because of the combination of rain and snowmelt.
“Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks,” the weather service said in an advisory.
Heavy winds also caused widespread power outages, with 59,403 customers without power across Versant Power’s service area and another 10,767 in Central Maine Power’s service area, as of 12:30 p.m.
Winds will remain stiff Thursday but far weaker than their peak overnight.
As we take stock of the storm’s impact, here’s where the most rain was recorded in eastern and northern Maine, as reported by the weather service office in Caribou. (Rainfall estimates weren’t available yet for western and southern Maine from the weather station in Gray.)
