Scarborough resident Adam Chick waits for help Wednesday night in his car, which was disabled by high water on State Street in Portland's Deering Oaks Park. The record-breaking storm dropped more than 6 inches of rain in parts of southern Maine in a few hours, according to the National Weather Service – more than twice the average total for the month of August. Chick said a police officer waved him through and cautioned him to proceed slowly, moments before his car stalled in the water. Chick's was the last vehicle to enter the water before police closed the street.
