This is the biggest storm since 1978.
The Ice Storm of 1978 will fight you on that.
This has been our third storm in about two weeks. Two have been wind and rain events and the third was a standard snowstorm that dropped 8 t 10 inches. That snow is now gone.
Owls Head is not in southern Maine. It is in Midcoast Maine. Not sure why this shack got the NY Post coverage, as an even more iconic set of fishing shacks collapsed into the sea in South Portland Maine.

Pictures of another building destroyed by the storm in Georgetown.
The article refers to “Southwest of Owls Head in the community of Georgetown” Owls Head is 40 miles as the crows flys from Georgetown. Probably at least 60 miles by car.
78 had a number of storms. The spring tide storm was the most notable. Hellbthe next year there was a flooding storm that left cars up to their aerials in stroudwater. I was there.
Oops, that should have been 1998.
