Bands of rain rotated around the periphery of a slow moving, but vigorous, low pressure system from the 12th through the 15th. Extremely heavy rainfall combined with rough seas and incoming astronomical high tides to produce localized flooding along the Maine coast south of Portland Maine. A combination of fresh and saltwater flooding occurred along the Josiah River in Kennebunk. Localized severe flooding occurred at York Beach. Damage was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
