Hatches Battened as Belle Dims to Tropical Storm
Residents prepared for worst as Hurricane Belle weakened to a tropical storm. Lobstermen moved 250 traps to safety, 20 to 30 from Biddeford and Cape Porpoise followed. Boat safety plans included overnight on boats and removal of 35 to 40 vessels, with crews watching piers and courtesy docks. Old Orchard Beach stayed quiet as shops closed and streets emptied awaiting waves, but the storm largely skirted the coast with minimal damage.
