Maine is likely to receive the first direct hit from a hurricane in more than 30 years this weekend, when Hurricane Lee is expected to make its way into the Gulf of Maine sometime on Saturday.
The current projected path would see the brunt of the storm’s force hit midcoast and Down East Maine during the day on Saturday, though it is expected to be downgraded to a category one storm by then, if not a tropical storm.
Maine doesn’t get hurricanes very often. The last big storm to hit Maine was Hurricane Bob in 1991. Other, more recent hurricanes that hit the northeastern U.S., like Irene and Sandy, didn’t make much of an impact here in Maine.
It’s a rare occurrence for Mainers. So we want to know: how do you plan to prepare for Lee’s potential arrival on Saturday? Let us know in the form below, and we’ll share what you have to say in a story later this week.
