Central Maine Power was called to the Coast Guard station on Tilson Avenue, in Rockland, between 11 a.m. and noon, after the CG experienced a shortage somewhere in their electrical system. According to a CMP supervisor on scene, CMP conducted initial safety maintenance with the expectation that the CG will hire an electrician to further investigate the root cause of the shortage.

Entrance to Buoy Park, adjacent to Rockland’s Harbor Park, was closed Sunday, along with Harbor Park. However, two circumstances prevented a full closure: the owner of a restaurant within the park expected to be open on Sunday, and Jersey barriers at the entrance to H.P. only blocked half of the driveway, allowing vehicles to go in and out.

KNOX COUNTY — The work morning began with a few reports of trees down as residents of Knox County began their attempts to drive through a wind and rain storm, Sunday, March 10. As the morning progressed, the weight of each raindrop lost its vigor, yet its continued accumulation brought some watershed levels above the roadway.
Route 1, at Lincolnville Beach, closed to traffic, per a request by Maine Dept. of Transportation, which was in the area at approximately 10:15 a.m.
In Lincolnville, on Searsmont Road just south of Camden Road, flooding has also been noted.
Camden Road (Route 105) in Hope, closed near 882 Camden Road, due to a small amount of water making the stretch impassable.

Friendship, Warren, St. George, Hope, and Appleton firefighters have responded to trees and wires down within their towns, while also responding to a couple of reports of single vehicles striking telephone poles (ex. Searmont Road, in Lincolnville). No injuries were reported.
