Gonna be a nice little event for most of us in here. Maybe some 300 year-old trees will get covered in ice and come crashing down onto powerlines and buildings so those people are happy, too.
Damage comes in many flavors. My neighbor's three donkeys escaped last night when a branch crashed into the pen and wrecked the fence. A pack of coyotes is gonna have a feast tonight.
There were 600 outages in CT at 9am from the overnight event that were largely repaired by early afternoon. There are now 1200+, most from the backside winds. Litchfield, Ridgefield, and East Lyme hardest hit, and building more in Western CT.
I moved from Woodbury to a horse farm just over the border in Bethlehem on Hard Hill Rd 3 years ago. I can drive a mile down the hill and the winds will be 10mph while theyre gusting to 30 here. Totally open property in all directions for a half mile, on a hill. Backside winds always overperform up here.
It all comes down to the lost beer, hotdog, and merch sales. That's close to 2.5 million at a full stadium. The NFL calls Hochul and says, "Get out there and cancel the game. Blame it on whatever you need to, but keep us out of it."
Biggest damage in town is a branch crashed into a donkey pen last night, and three donkeys escaped. The town is out if force trying to locate them before the coyotes do.
