14. The shore line along CT is pretty devasted. Lots of flooding.

East Lyme, Stonington, Milford, Branford, New Haven, Bridgeport. Many more towns too. 13 foot storm surge was reported near the western coast.

Someone died in Mansfield when a tree fell on them. Someone went out in the flooded waters in Milford and is missing.

People that did not evacuate along the shore and were stuck in their homes as the water came in had to rescued by the National Guard. Gov. Malloy had told them earlier not to go out in the flood waters as they could drown. Urged them to get onto the highest part of their house without water. Some had to go on their roofs. But he said they were all rescued which is good.

Power outages all over Connecticut. Lots of trees down and power lines down everywhere.

I lucked out being Terryville. We got little power outages here. Seems the middle of the state was the best place to be. Just our fence fell down a little. We are so lucky here.

Terryville is part of Plymouth on the outage map. Just 9% power outages now.

And poor Dock and Dine in Old Saybrook just opened two months ago. The had to renovate from Hurricane Irene. Now major damage again. It is a restaurant my grandmother (who died two years ago) loved.

And this picture from Milford is all over CT:
