Survey summary: Path of uprooted and snapped trees began just
north of Brownville Junction and continued to the northeast for
approximately one mile. Along Front Street in Brownville Jct,
approximately 10 medium to large pine trees were snapped. 20 to
30 trees were uprooted and approximately 10 trees were snapped in
a wooded lot on the west side of a private property along Rte 11.
On the east side of Rte 11, a RV park sustained damage to several
camper awnings and tents, and some large pieces of decor at the
entrance to the property were blown over. A canoe located on the
top of the RV park sign was blown to the ground. Further north
along Rte 11, several locations had large individual trees that
were snapped, bringing down powerlines. The damage from this event
was indicative of straight line winds, with the strongest winds
occurring near Brownville Junction.

NWS Caribou thanks Brownville Emergency Management and Penobscot
County Emergency Management for their assistance in the survey and
local residents for reporting impacts.
