Kennebunkport, Maine Businesses Deal With Coastal Flood Damage

Kennebunkport, Maine, is cleaning up in the bitter cold, removing snow and repairing flood damage from Thursday’s blizzard. Maine recorded the third highest tide during a strong winter storm, creating coastal flooding that covered the downtown area known as Dock Square. "We do get a little flooding, but not like this," said Luanne MacDonald. She owns a restaurant called The Hurricane, and said it looked like one hit. "This was a winter storm, but it was like a hurricane - a category three," she said. More than six inches of ocean water filled the floors of her restaurant, ruining hardwood and carpet, and possibly destroying appliances.
