What the National Weather Service wrote

Severe thunderstorm outflow wind gusts reached 43 mph near Old Orchard Beach as the storms pushed through.

The wider storm

A strong mid-level trough ejected out of New York and pushed from southwest to northeast across New England during the day on September 8th. This feature had ample low level instability to work with as the region was experiencing well above normal temperatures and moisture for early September. All these ingredients came together to bring a line of strong thunderstorms that moved from the south to the north from the NH/MA border up to Casco Bay.

Began near Wells Water Level Station (welm1) (43.5260, -70.3175).
