Hurricane Sandy North Haven: 'Stay In Your Homes' [VIDEO]
North Haven Fire Lt. Jeff Obier advises residents to stay home and indoors during Monday afternoon to early evening, which is expected to be the worst portion of Hurricane Sandy.
Although North Haven is not expected to experience the storm surge and flooding problems other neighboring towns are bracing for as Hurricane Sandy approaches Connecticut, town officials are still advising residents to stay at home and inside Monday afternoon to early evening.
North Haven Fire Lt. Jeff Obier said the winds are expected to reach sustained levels of up to 80 miles per hour Monday afternoon through to the late evening.
This will lead to downed trees and limbs, and most likely power outages throughout the town, he said.
