They are probably okay but the mama in me worries. I'm considered the black sheep of the family so I don't hear from them all that much but it doesn't stop me from worrying about the area.

Thanks Rar and all for your concern. Everything is OK in Derby CT, which is between New Haven and Bridgeport. I am TOWARD the Southern part of the state and a little West. Like I've said, near the shore, but not on it. The Western part of CT and the shoreline is what looks to have been hit the hardest. At last listen, the news said that about a third of CT residents did not have power, however, we do. The East toward RI (where the casinos are), did not look like they got anything in comparison to the West side of the state. I'm not exactly sure how well off the East is, but the news hasn't really reported anything major happening there. Since 1/3 of the state is w/o power, many peoples phones, computers, etc obviously will not be working. Also my TV, phone, and internet are with ATT, and I've had some flickers, so maybe their wireless could be out too. There are trees down in many areas of CT as well. Hope this helps anyone that has friends and family in CT. ******Rain has tapered down to almost nothing falling in my area, but wind continues to gust pretty good at this time.

I just this minute read that the storm is 10 miles west of Danbury. Hang in there Kevin and everyone.
Everything is good as of right now where I live. There are over 700,000 people in CT that are w/o power. The West side of CT has received up to 8 or so inches of rain. I just have to deal with the remaining wind and gusts right now, probably for the next few hrs or so. The West and the shoreline have been hit with the most. Thanks again for your concern!
Good to hear that Whis. I just heard from ATT that there are over 2000 telephone poles that have been damaged, so that would account for the electric, as well as some internet being out here.
ob - They aren't answering phones. Cell won't work for my brother as his house is in a dead zone. Aunt and Uncle don't have cell phones or computers. If electricity is out internet won't work. I've already emailed my brother and SIL.
Stay safe, Kevin.
Stay safe, Kevin.
Good afternoon sashwa. I hope that all your family in CT is OK. Like I said, the most of the damage has been in the West and along the shoreline. If there is anything that I can do for you to try to contact them etc....please let me know.
Whiskey, how's things in Don's area? We know he's on vacation, but is he still home? Who else hasn't checked in today?
Just a reminder- most deaths and injuries from hurricanes happen when people are cleaning up! Don't injure yourself with a chainsaw. Sadly, I've seen that more than once.

I am just a couple miles from Danbury border. Power has been out since the middle of last night.
However there isn't all that much damage here, the center of the storm has passed and it's getting brighter outside.
Other than powe outages I would not worry about people in this area

Just thinking of the crew on the East coast. Prayers going out to you all. Stay Safe.
