Where?

Got power but I'm not optimistic in Stratford. Lost power 10 days last year with a 'much' smaller hurricane.

who ever the guy is on news 12 that they keep showing for all emergency planning stuff needs to drop the dam notre dam ehat and put a uconn one on. no jackass, indiana is not in danger and no one cares about the fball team out there right now.

Many who lose power will not be able to read the Boneyard, I would guess, if without smartphone like yours truly.

Big gust right now....crossing fingers, praying, begging, ..... tree just broke, caught in another tree, hoping will not swivel toward house.

Hearing it's getting pretty serious along the shore in terms of wind.

 

[gorbowski06]

Hearing it's getting pretty serious along the shore in terms of wind.

I live in Stratford and was just down at one of the docks and it is pretty windy. Some of the boats were being slammed pretty hard into the dock. I tried to drive down to the beaches but the police are blocking the streets.

We keep losing for 30 to 90 seconds, then it comes back up. Monroe, right by the Stevenson Dam.

 

[husky99]

I have power in avon but the next street over do not

We keep losing for 30 to 90 seconds, then it comes back up. Monroe, right by the Stevenson Dam.

I'm on the Dam side of town in Oxford and we lost power for a couple hours this afternoon and now we are getting the flickering you got Rich

 

[Dogbreath2U]

In East Glastonbury, I was getting the flickering, on and off, over about an hour, then the power went out and stayed out. About an hour and a half later, the power came back on. This has never happened before......a MIRACLE! Now if it will only stay on.

They just said the strongest wind in the state was an 85 mph gust in Madison.

I am shocked, but in a good way (not the usual ECT way).

 

[aceboon]

Bridgeport, no power, according to the CT Post twitter UI shut off the substations, I think they did the same thing during Irene. hopefully I'm back up by tomorrow morning.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

parts of vernon are out.
tree fell on the lines

 

[Danzz]

Southington: still have power at 9:30pm-flicked off and back on a few times.

Stay safe. You guys have your own set of natural disasters.

 

[CAHUSKY]

All good in northern Nevada too.

I kinda wanted to jump on the everything's AOK out west, but I have lot's of family back east. I hope everyone is ok. This is a scary storm.

As for our natural disasters out here, I'll take them all day long. I've lived here almost 30 years and I bet it's at least 10 to 1 CT vs CA for deaths from natural disaster stuff during that time. We get an earthquake once every 20 years that kills a few dozen and some fires that take another maybe 5 or 10 a year. You guys get blizzards that take out dozens every winter, plus tornadoes and hurricanes that just womp you. On top of that, you have to deal with that weather. WTF are you people thinking? There's the bottom 1/3rd of this country that has plenty of space and has such a better climate.

Last year I went to the Rose Bowl and came home with a sunburn on my face. You were dealing with ice damns and snow and oil bills and week plus power outages. It's a crappy place to live. Leave!

I like the four seasons and I think it makes the people tougher and gives them a thicker skin. Would never want to live in California, from my experiences there are a lot of wimpy people out there, also I could never live anywhere, where they consider Domino's good pizza.
