CONNECTICUT Gov. New Lamont took to the state s Emergency Operations Center bunker to warn residents of severe weather, and warn power utilities not to have a repeat of the prolonged power outages the state endured last August after being hit by another storm.
Lamont has ordered a partial activation of the EOC beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday to monitor conditions from Tropical Storm Elsa. The governor said he expected the state would be hit pretty hard around 10 a.m., but expects Elsa to be much less severe than Tropical Storm Isaias.
