I was up at the Academy last night and was deeply moved by this and wanted to capture it for others. The Connecticut Fire Academy did a very moving and sobering honor to the 343 firefighters that gave their life 25 years ago at Ground zero. We will never forget. RIP

Downtown Westport,CT. A good friend sent these to me. I have no idea who took them but they are legit. @macedo_weather reports 8.22” of rain at weather station there.

[Ryan Hanrahan @ryanhanrahan]

The 3 hour rain totals this morning had a recurrence interval of 200 years in parts of Westport, Fairfield, Branford, and North Branford.

In other words, only a 0.5% chance of happening in a given year.

Shoveling Safety Reminder

As you venture out to start or finish the clean up, make your safety the priority

Snow removal is hard work and can put serious strain on your body. Each year, we see injuries and cardiac events during cleanup.
