Weathering The Storm
Last night’s thunderstorm tore a narrow but destructive path through Westport.
The owner of this Colony Road home assessed the damage philosophically: “It’s only a tree.”
More thunderstorms are possible through Tuesday.
And we don’t have to tell you: It’s hot!
Did It Rain? Hail, Yeah!
This afternoon’s brief but intense thunderstorm — with quarter-sized hail — caused havoc in pockets of Westport.
Trees are down, and there’s local flooding.
Rich Stein took these photos. Here’s the scene where Evergreen Avenue intersects North Compo Road:
And this was a stuck Mini Cooper at Myrtle Avenue, near the Post Road:
Jeb Backus took this photo of extensive Post Road flooding in front of Geiger’s, near Morningside:
Here is David Conneely’s video, from his 2nd-floor iFloat facility on Main Street:
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9 p.m. tonight.
Meanwhile, if you’ve got any photos from today’s wild weather, send ’em along.
Auntie Em! Auntie Em!
At first glance, Bobby Hudson’s photo looks like Compo’s South Beach was Photoshopped with the mountains of a Caribbean island.
At second glance, it’s all Compo.
Those “mountains” are storm clouds that rolled in — quickly and ominously — this evening.
Here’s another view — from Saugatuck Shores, by Stacy Waldman Bass:
Those are some serious clouds.
As the saying goes: “Mother Nature bats last.”
