An 11.5 foot tide driven by a southeast gale battered Popham Beach last Thursday at 11 a.m. The storm caused massive log jams and debris blocks on roads to Fort Popham and Fort BaldwIn.

The highway over the marsh suffered severe damage while some cottages escaped major harm. Coast Guard cleared trees and milk delivery halted as the village faced widespread disruption. The report notes higher road embankments should have been built.
