Windham County and eastern Connecticut will feel the effects of what’s left of Florence, with heavy rains.
The Cargill Falls looks tame now, but by this time tomorrow could be a real show.
In, Norwich emergency management says the time to prepare is now.
Norwich Emergency Management has sandbags, pumping equipment, and generators ready to go on a moment’s notice. Public works crews were busy on Monday clearing clogged storm drains.
Acting Emergency Management Director is fire lieutenant Jake Manke.
“We will have advanced notice because up north will start to let us know about high amounts of water coming through,” said Manke.
The Yantic River and the concern in the City of Norwich is that when we get heavy rains the river will flood.
The Yantic flooded in the spring of 2010, but because the river level is low, emergency management says it should stay within its banks.
