Emergency officials in West Haven, Connecticut are preparing for a stormy weekend, with heavy wind and rain expected to hit on Sunday night and potentially lead to flooding. Rick Fontana, the director of Emergency Operations in West Haven, highlighted the new bridge flooding gates that have been installed to prevent danger to residents’ personal property, cars, and lives. The gates will automatically close if water is detected, diverting traffic to safer routes. The storm team is predicting 1-3 inches of rain and wind gusts above 40 miles per hour in most communities. Fontana emphasized that safety is a top priority during storms like this, and the installation of the gates is aimed at keeping people safe in the city. Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to avoid any potential risks associated with the upcoming storm.
