It’s now been 17 years since the Red Sox hit 4 consecutive homers off Chase Wright and the Yankees. Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek. Back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Fenway Park went absolutely BONKERS.

An earlier BDN story explaining why coastal Maine is experiencing so much storm flooding: bangordailynews.com/2021/07/…

In this small Maine city, the climate change threat is already here

Bath, the 8,500-resident “City of Ships,” is among the places in Maine facing the greatest risks from increased coastal flooding because so much of it is low-lying.
