As Westport evaluates its response to the March storm, another disaster is unfolding 2 towns away.
A strong thunderstorm knocked down branches, and knocked out power, here yesterday. Bridgeport fared far worse. A tornado knocked down buildings, blew out windows, and turned that long-suffering city into a disaster zone.
Beyond volunteering at the Mercy Center, going to Sound Tigers games and driving through as quickly as possible on I-95, Westporters don’t have much to do with Bridgeport.
But today, more than ever, we are reminded what a difference a few miles makes.
