I was up at the Academy last night and was deeply moved by this and wanted to capture it for others. The Connecticut Fire Academy did a very moving and sobering honor to the 343 firefighters that gave their life 25 years ago at Ground zero. We will never forget. RIP

The 3 hour rain totals this morning had a recurrence interval of 200 years in parts of Westport, Fairfield, Branford, and North Branford.
In other words, only a 0.5% chance of happening in a given year.
