Photo reporters with camera equipment paddled boats through ordinarily busy city streets. They documented the flood’s impact, including two men rowing into a Saco-area garage, and a battered outbuilding tilted on its side. In the floating debris, toward the left of the titled garage, is a flight of wooden stairs torn loose from the side of the building.
