Westport’s point area flooded again Wednesday morning, with water rising several feet above the normal high tide mark. Water lapped up to the harbormaster’s office, Paquachuck Inn and surrounding properties on lower Main Road at the height of the tide Wedndesday morning, and East Beach Road saw some flooding as well.
