I have a couple friends who live in CT. One is without power still, Bridgeport area. The other has power but had roof damage from wind, Danbury area.

Good luck, Cambuim.

I’d say Isaias was worse than Irene, which is impressive considering it was much drier and much shorter lived.

Sandy is still king.

Day #3 I still have no power. Over half million in CT still.

This is what 57mph looked like here. And it's not what knocked down most trees. It was the 30mph+ gusts that we frequently got after this peak gust. The 2 trees in front are Oak trees. Not even a scratch on them.


FYI... We usually get 30-50mph winds from Northwest and Northeast and this damage isn't done. I believe trees are weaker with winds from the south

Treetops are heavy this time of year, heavier than Oct - May. High winds in the middle of summer are bound to lead to more trees falling.
