TL;DR

Portland is bracing for a potentially record-breaking high tide of 14.3 feet on Saturday, which could surpass the 1978 blizzard's record of 14.17 feet. Coastal flooding is expected to worsen due to the loss of dunes and protections, with warnings issued for the entire Maine coastline. Areas already damaged from a recent storm are likely to experience further damage, and residents are preparing for potentially historic coastal flooding reminiscent of the 1978 storm.
