Here in Downeast Maine along the coast, some wind & rain, but nothing other than some power & phone lines down from broken branches. power out for about 6-7 hours. We have many tall oaks, spruce, cedar, pines on our property, but nothing blew over. I helped manage the Penobscot Fire Station by playing cribbage as the 911 service was out, was home in bed by 10:30 pm w/ my 2 way radio on. Power came back on by midnite+- w/ no further calls.
