Eggemoggin Reach Storm, Sedgwick & Deer Isle, Maine

A sudden storm cell passed over the Eggemoggin Reach while we were out on the lobster boat. This film shows how calm the water was before the storm reached us, and how things changed drastically as it passed over us.

There are hardly any waves at the beginning of the film. We could hear thunder occasionally and saw lightning just past the bridge ahead of us.

As the storm moves closer, you can see how low the belt of clouds stretched across the reach, and how fast the clouds were moving. Eventually you can see a wake behind the sailboat moored in front of us.

As the cloud bank passed over us the temperature dropped noticeably, then about 30 seconds later the wind began to increase. At that point white caps were everywhere across the reach. As the storm moved past us a break in the cloud cover let the sun shine down on the water below making it look a beautiful green color. The storm seemed to leave as quickly as it came!

The lobster boat was on the mooring during the entire storm, and all of the footage was filmed from the boat. The entire storm (and original film) lasted just over 18 minutes, which I condensed it into this 3 minute video.
