Locals lucked out with Henri With Tropical Storm Henri bearing down on the state last weekend, local communities prepared for the worst. Thankfully, the much-hyped weather event created few headaches. The National Hurricane Center downgraded Henri from a Category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm around 7 a.m. Sunday. Landfall took place near the Connecticut-Rhode Island border at midday Sunday. See Henri, A2
9/11: NEVER FORGET Communities across Connecticut have plans to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Twenty years ago, two hijacked planes were flown into the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York City, another crashed in a field in Pennsylvania – Flight 93 – and a fourth slammed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. More than 3,000 people were killed in the attacks, which resulted in the United States going to war in both Iraq and Afghanistan. North Haven will mark the 20-year anniversary of 9/11 with a memorial gathering on the town green Saturday, Sept. 11 at 9 a.m. Pictured: Community members and local officials, including former state Sen. Len Fasano, gathered at Wallingford Town Hall for a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in 2018.
