15-Foot Wave Destroys 19th Century Fishing Huts in Portland 🌊

A record high tide in Maine washed away three historic fishing shacks that had stood since the 1800s and formed the backdrop of countless photographs. The shacks, owned by the city of South Portland, had just undergone a facelift in October when they were repainted and re-shingled.They were the last in a series of fishing shacks that predate the city’s incorporation after they were first built along the shore and then moved to their current location in the 1880s.A record 14.57-foot (4.4-meter) high tide was measured in Portland, Maine, just after noon on Saturday, after a storm surge amplified what was already the month's highest tide, National Weather Service meteorologist Michael Cempa said.Source: Michelle Erskine, AP
