High winds and massive storm surges swept away whole homes on Wednesday in this town along Maine’s midcoast. On Friday, residents raced to clean up debris a day before a similar storm was set to strike. Maine’s coast will be hammered around midday Saturday with storm surges of up to 4 1/2 feet that will combine with the highest tide of the season. The potential for flooding along the Down East coast is the highest observed in more than a decade, the National Weather Service in Caribou said.
