Tropical Storm Watch Issued for the Immediate Connecticut Shoreline
Governor Dannel P. Malloy is asking shoreline residents to closely monitor Tropical Storm Hermine over the next several days and be prepared for potential minor to moderate flooding and some gusty winds. Residents should also be prepared in case potential power outages occur.
"Our office is receiving real-time updates on this storm and its path. Just as the state is monitoring and preparing, the public should do the same, especially residents in our shoreline communities," Governor Malloy said. "Based on Hermine's current projected path, we do not believe it will have a major impact on the state, but it does have the potential to produce some gusty winds and minor to moderate coastal flooding, especially in low-lying areas along the shoreline. Power outages are also a possibility with this storm. This storm needs to be watched closely over the next three to four days."
