Hey - was that Compo Beach? (Grew up there.)

Yes, it was! You might be interested to know that they had bulldozers there all day creating a berm of sand 7 or 8 feet high just on the other side of the stone wall that lines Soundview Dr. The first row of houses all had sandbags in front of them. Downtown, all the stores on the Post Road from Jessup Rd. up to Church Lane were putting sand bags in front. Mayor Moccia in Norwalk just announced that they were expecting a storm surge as high as 16 feet! That east wind is shoving water into the Sound and not letting it out. We're going to be seeing the accumulation of 4 tide cycles of water before it starts going out again. Its going to stink around here later in the week.

Wow. Thanks for the update. It’s been 40 years or so since I’ve been there, but I spent every day of the summer on that beach when I was little. Fun to think about it now.

Stay safe, FRiend!
