This is Mike Tetreau, First Selectman for the Town of Fairfield with a message from the Emergency Command Team. This is a storm update. It is anticipated that we will experience tropical force winds by 11:00 PM tonight and Hurricane force winds by 7:00 AM Sunday Morning. Storm surge along the coast is expected to be one foot higher than the 1992 Nor’easter. Please make preparations for extended loss of power during and after the storm and move vehicles to higher ground. All travel must be completed by nightfall as roads will become impassible. Emergency services and rescues may not be possible until after the storm. Roger Ludlowe High School will remain open as an emergency shelter. This shelter will be accepting family pets. Continue to monitor local media sources for periodic updates. This has been a message from the Town of Fairfield Emergency Command.
