Milford Mayor Shares Update On Major Storm

MILFORD, CT — A powerful storm is anticipated to roll through Connecticut on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the city has issued a warning to residents.

Mayor Anthony Giannattasio posted the following on Facebook:

A strong storm system is forecast to impact our area beginning this afternoon through tomorrow, Wednesday, January 10, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds with gusts up to 65 MPH, and the likelihood for coastal and river flooding.

As the city prepares, residents are asked to monitor alerts and weather conditions, secure all outdoor objects susceptible to high winds, help to keep the tops of catch basins clear of leaves and debris, to keep electronic devices charged in the event of a power outage, and to never drive through flood waters.

It is especially important for shoreline residents to be vigilant. With the chance of flooding in areas of low elevation, please be sure to take all necessary precautions, including moving vehicles to higher ground.

Thank you and be safe.
