Wesport definitely has the most damage I have seen so far in my travels. Its a disaster there. Eversource is reporting 97% of the town has no power with 12,257 outages. It looks like weeks worth of work to cleanup all the trees and down wires. Does anyone know who is responsible when huge tree on a homeowners property falls across the road? Seems they are everywhere and nothing is being done.

They basically took a gamble and lost big. Lineman make $50-75 an hour. When they bring crews in from out of state it cost a fortune. The lineman are on the clock 24/7 as soon as they leave. They are even paid when they are sleeping in hotel rooms overnight. They then get storm duty pay for actual work at 2 sometimes 3 times their regular pay. Lineman jump on out of state storm work as they make a fortune. Its a matter of the utilities bringing them in and paying for it.

I drive all over Fairfield County for work. Trees and wires are still down on roads all over the place. Its not just Eversources fault. Towns and the state haven't cleared roads. Also just heard on the radio that Frontier owns most of the poles not Eversource and they are a big part of the issue as well. I would expect you probably won't have power until late next week. Tons of commercial areas on Post Rd are still out. They focus on those spots first. If your on some rural residential road you are last on the list.

There are huge lines at gas stations in Fairfield County with people filling gas cans.

Eversource is supposedly going to announce later today to expect up to 11 days for power restoration in CT.

My neighbor is a lineman for Eversource. Going to be days and days before power comes back on for many. Southwest CT is a mess. About half of Eversource customers in CT still have no power.

My neighbor is a lineman for Eversource. They can't start working until the winds die down for obvious safety reasons. Going to be awhile if you don't have power.

The New York Times has been publishing a bunch of teaser articles. Supposedly they are going to drop a bombshell story soon.

We are not alone.... Pentagon Has ‘Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth’ Bombshell: The government’s once-clandestine UFO program will reveal findings on unexplained materials and crashes. The Pentagon's on-and-off-again, once-covert UFO program is decidedly back on—and will soon reveal some of its findings to the public. An astrophysicist who consulted on the UFO program confirms the government possesses materials from “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.” The news comes on the heels of the Navy's official release of three notorious UFO videos. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a33413777/pentagon-ufo-program-materials-vehicles/

New Haven down through SW CT into NJ has been wet. We have a cabin on a lake in NW NJ and its been like a rainforest there.

Its pretty amazing how far north great whites go. These are all recent satellite pings on tagged great whites.

There are great whites all over. Check out this 1164lb guy that was satelite pinged just off the Nova Scotia coast 2 days ago. 7 recent pings on the cape as well.

Sea surface temps are quite warm off the coast of Maine. I would assume there are tons of seals on all the rocky coast there.

I'm hearing ac's are sold out at most stores.

Most bizarrely of all, when researchers tested blood samples taken years before the pandemic started, they found T cells which were specifically tailored to detect proteins on the surface of Covid-19. This suggests that some people already had a pre-existing degree of resistance against the virus before it ever infected a human. And it appears to be surprisingly prevalent: 40-60% of unexposed individuals had these cells. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200716-the-people-with-hidden-protection-from-covid-19

Read up on T Cells and immunity. They think 40-60 percent of the population may have complete immunity to it. A July 15 study published in Nature found that there are three separate groups that showed immunity to the coronavirus. The first consisted of COVID-19 patients who have T cells—a bunch of immune cells that can kill the virus and act as a line of defense against future pathogens. The next faction included people who had been infected with the SARS virus in 2003 and also had these same T cells. But the final group was the most surprising to researchers: 37 study subjects had the T cells despite the fact that they were never exposed to or infected with either of the illnesses. This proves that we all may have some immunity to this strain of coronavirus built into our bodies. "A level of pre-existing immunity against SARS-CoV2 appears to exist in the general population," Antonio Bertoletti, MD, a virologist at Duke NUS Medical School in Singapore told The New York Times.

Its already run its course here. There is a lot of stuff coming out where they think a good majority of people are probably completely immune to it. They dont even build antibodies their immune system simply just eradicates it as soon as it enters. I cant tell you how many people I have heard from who were in a multigenerational house/apartment with someone that had it and nobody else got it.

Special one for sure. I'm a few hundred feet from the water. 107 heat index is impressive for here....

74 dewpoint at 9am..

Here is where Ghislaine Maxwell was hiding out in Bradford NH. I am guessing it will be back on the market soon. https://www.neren.com/listing/338-East-Washington-Rd/5cb0d652e323549dd12f5e9a#local-info

They filmed a Hallmark movie here in Branford a few years ago as well. They had the same fake snow everywhere when I went into town. It was really cool to see. Bill Belichick was downtown filming a Subway commercial here yesterday.

One was hit and killed on the Meritt Parkway in CT back in 2011. It was traced with its DNA and scat to the Black Hills in South Dakota. Mountain lion killed in Connecticut prowled east from S.
