I heard something this morning about "Tornado potential" here in CT ................didn't materialize, as far as "I" know, but the weather was prime for it.

I remember a Hurricane that came thru CT back in the mid-80's that did a bunch of damage. Some fella I didn't know was driving down my street after it was over, with a pickup and a couple of chain saws in the back. I hopped in with him and we went down the road, clearing all the trees that had fallen and were laying across major roads, all the way thru town.
Pity I didn't need the wood then.

I remember that one also. I think there were a couple in fact, in the aftermath of Hurricane Gloria (was it 86 ?). Crossed I-84 just north of Waterbury.

Wiped out the Bradley Air Museum, (not to mention the damage throughout the state). I believe it was 1985 or 1986, yes. We went out when the "eye" came over top of us, and the second half of the storm seemed to be a "no show" for some reason (at least in mid-state).

I just called my wife and told her to hang on! Funny that I find out about this here. I won't be leaving work in NYC until nearly midnight, so, I guess I'll miss the excitement. I have the day off tomorrow. Maybe there will be some scrounging ops. I don't really have any room for green wood at the house right now anyway.
