It s been 36 years since a hurricane has made landfall in Connecticut, and the state is more vulnerable than ever before.
“In general every 15-20 years climatology says that we would see a hurricane and it’s been over 35 years since we have seen a Category 1 hurricane, Nelson Vaz, warning coordination meteorologist for NWS, explained.
