My family and I are fine in Bridgeport, CT.
I live on the water in Bridgeport, just north of the Fairfield town line. Water came over the street and right up to my stone wall, which is about 6ft above mean high tide. Our basement is dry, thank God! I lost a section of siding, and have some holes in my bug screens, but thats about all the damage we had. I have about 1500 lbs of ocean debris on the side walk infront of my house, including nasty ass syringe...and 5 gallon poly container of someone's piss.....NASTY!
Our friends in Fairfield got the brunt of the damage as they are a lower laying community than ours. There is still 3-4ft of water on some streets in FFLD.
I just got my power back at 3:00 today, and couldn't be happier. Although it was a great feeling to be prepared and have everything we needed to be comforatble, we did get a little stir crazy and had to get out.
My father lost 34 trees on his 20 acres in Redding, CT. He had to chainsaw his way to work on Tuesday! A friend on Lalley Rd. in Fairfield was rescued by an FD boat Tuesday morning. They lost everything on the first floor of the house.....no bueno!
I brought my boat down from Thamesport Marina in New London on Friday, thank god I did, because the marina got MESSED UP! and all the docks and boats are a screwed...!
