2024 Portland flood

It occurred, across coastal central Maine, on January 13, 2024,[1] causing severe flooding, especially in Portland's Old Port district and around Back Cove.

[2] The storm followed another one, three days earlier,[3] which also occurred during high tide.

[1][4] During the storm, 2.9 inches (74 mm) of rain fell during the morning, and 60-mile-per-hour (97 km/h) winds, combined with a record-breaking high tide, resulted in waves of 15 feet (4.6 m) to 20 feet (6.1 m).

[6] Water also breached Commercial Street at Chandler's Wharf,[7] and Maine State Pier, which was completely submerged.

[1] DiMillo's Floating Restaurant suffered damage to its pilings, hinges broke off a platform, and the buildings on its pier flooded.
