It was in 1989, and then again a few years ago..both were very bad. F-3 in 89, and close to that a couple years back too. There’s been quite a few very damaging events the last decade alone Phin. Octobomb was historic! So was Superstorm/Hurricane Sandy! So was Isaias. These storms were devastating here…legitimately so.
The Hamden tornado damage a few years back was very impressive in its own right for SNE.
So you asked for examples, and I gave you quite a list over the last 10 years. even if our infrastructure/power grid was fabulous..these storms would have still been historic/very severe. So we’ve had our share of late of severe/damaging weather.
