| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Irene made landfall locally as a tropical storm around 900 am August 28, 2011 over New York City. Irene then moved across Southeast New York and Western Connecticut before dissipating over Northern New England near the Canadian Border the evening of August 28. The large envelope of winds associated with Tropical Storm Irene pushed a 3 to 5 foot surge of water into Long Island Sound resulting in moderate to major coastal flooding, wave damage and erosion. This resulted in damage or destruction of over 100 homes in East Haven, Milford, Westport, Fairfield and Stratford. Heavy damage to public beaches and other public and private facilities also occurred. |
