Tropical Storm Henri In Town Of Willington

Press release from the Town of Willington:

August 20, 2021

The Town of Willington is monitoring Tropical Storm Henri as it’s expected to impact Connecticut this weekend and into Monday. Significant rainfall and flash flooding are expected along with potential for strong winds that could cause problems with downed trees and power lines.

You should work now to prepare in advance of the storm by assembling your emergency plan and supplies as well as preparing for power outages that may last several days.

Public Works has worked to clear catch basins in advance of the storm, but if you have one near your property and notice it has become blocked with debris, your assistance to clear them could help prevent flooding.

We will keep you updated as the storm track gets closer to Connecticut.

Stay Safe!
