I live in Maine and it has been raining pretty steady and the winds are very very strong..I'd say 50mph? I went down to Old Orchard beach where Palace Playland is located to see how everything was doing. Everything seemed to be intact at Palace, but it was hard to really tell. Take a look of the area surrounding the park!
