Today's riddle: How do you know the moon is going broke? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Connecticut nor'easter live updates: Power outages surge, coastal flooding begins (wiltonbulletin.com) — A powerful nor'easter is knocking out power across Connecticut, with Guilford among the hardest-hit towns as more than 2,500 customers lose electricity amid 40–55 mph wind gusts. Officials report downed trees, flooded shoreline roads, and multiple park and road closures statewide, while urging residents to avoid driving, move vehicles from flood-prone areas, and watch for changing conditions through the weekend.
• Top Connecticut high school girls swimming and diving top performances (Sept. 26) (rep-am.com) — Guilford High School swimmers Ryan Cohen and Emma Zhang turned in standout performances this past week, winning multiple events and relays in victories over Law and Foran. Their times in freestyle, butterfly, and individual medley events placed them among Connecticut's top girls swimming and diving performers, alongside athletes from Cheshire, Hand, Shelton, and other schools.
• These 8 Connecticut Towns Are So Overrun By Tourists That Locals Steer Clear Of The Center (takingthekids.com) — Guilford's historic green, busy Guilford Fair, and popular Jacob's Beach make the town one of Connecticut's most tourist-packed destinations, especially in summer and early fall. Locals often dodge peak hours by heading straight for the shoreline or visiting during quieter shoulder seasons, when parking is easier and the green's shops and events feel more relaxed.
