Person Kayaks Down Road as Record-Breaking Flooding Hits Maine

A person was spotted kayaking down a road in Wells, Maine, as record-breaking coastal flooding affected the state on Saturday, January 13.

A combination of high tides and storm surge led the water levels in Portland to rise to an all-time high of 14.17 feet, the National Weather Service said.

The flooding led to dozens of road closures across the coastal areas of the state, local news reported.

The Wells Police department filmed and shared this footage, saying, “We strongly suggest you do not kayak in this weather.” Credit: Wells Police via Storyful
