Today’s forecast calls for high winds in the Greater Portland area, along with 1.5 to 2 inches of rain. The west side of South Portland lost electrical power this morning, forcing school officials to dismiss students early.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The combination of heavy rain and no electricity is a recipe for flooded basements, as sump pumps are literally powerless to remove groundwater that may back up through basement drains. This type of damage is NOT covered by most Maine homeowners insurance<\/a>\u00a0policies, unless you buy a separate endorsement. Although it may be too late for you today, check your policy and talk to an agent about adding this coverage. Also, general flooding is not covered by homeowners policies. Coverage is available via separate flood policy. Talk to an insurance agent for details.\u00a0<\/div>\n
