A strong thunderstorm moved through York and Cumberland Counties on July 20 with wind gusts up to 60 mph, half dollar sized hail and frequent lightning that caused power outages and wind damage.

Over 1,300 female athletes along with family and friends celebrated the record-breaking 18th Tri for a Cure triathlon yesterday in South Portland—raising over $2.16 million for cancer treatment and research—by completing swim, bike and run courses.
