We ❤️ our Sunrisers! This Thursday morning it was Florina & Danny taking a romantic sunrise swim at Jennings Beach. The name Florina, by the way, is a Christian Latin variation of Florinus or Florus, meaning “flower”, “bloom” or “flourish”. Its bearer is bestowed with the hope that they will strive for their highest potential.

There’s some spotty rain in the forecast today, for midday and mid-afternoon. The first patch is currently over Illinois and making its way east but could sputter out before it gets here. The second forecast patch is not even visible on the radar so is an up-in-the-air call. We’ll aim to provide an update later this afternoon.

Looking for a summer beach read?! 📚 🏖️ Consider these books from Fairfield, CT Author Mike Lauterborn. All available through publisher AuthorHouse, Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Start here: https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/787404-chasing-charley

"Chasing Charley" follows the path John Steinbeck traveled counterclockwise around America 🇺🇸 in 1960 to write "Travels with Charley". Mike visited 35 states along 17,000 miles of road to see the sites and stops Steinbeck made decades earlier. 🚘

"Pandemonium" focuses on the Covid-19 pandemic 😷 from Dec. 31, 2019 when China announced the first cases to the world, through America's Reopening June 5, 2020. Mike relates how cases swept the globe 🌎 and changed life at all levels, speaking on the new normal and impacts across the board.

" " is a sidecar to "Pandemonium", but focused on all the remarkable weather events (30 named storms, massive floods, raging wildfires), 💨 💦 🔥 strange animal happenings (rampant sea lice, blue lobsters, pink dolphins, squirrels taking over parks, deer occupying empty cities) 🐿️ 🦌 🦞 🐬 and celestial events (meteors the size of the Empire State Building zooming past Earth, rare planet alignments) ☄️ that took place in 2020.

Here we go, Fairfield: Boomers, rain, flooding, lightning and all. Hang on to your underwear, man the canoes, cue sirens, fire up the lightning rods and every man for himself! ☔️ 💨 ⚡️ 💦 #thunderstorm #boomers #lightning #flooding

Waiting The Storm Out

The rain was coming down SO hard around 7:30-7:45am Saturday July 13 that it limited visibility to a very short distance and made exiting our vehicle a complete impossibility.

Reef Road / Post Road Storm Tour

The rain at 7:15-7:30am Saturday July 13 is falling hard and fast quickly flooding low lying areas in lower Fairfield. Road oils and rainwater are mixing making road surfaces slick. Storm drains are backing up. Steady as she goes.

Fairfield Fireworks 2024 Geand Finale

Originally scheduled for Sat. July 6th, Fairfield’s Independence Day Fireworks were pushed to Sun. July 7th due to the risk of thunderstorms. The show was worth the wait. Thousands of people descended on Jennings, Penfield and Fairfield Beaches to enjoy a half hour shoot-em-up capped by a feisty and vigorous grand finale, seen here. #fairfieldct #fairfieldfireworks #boomboom

Round Two Rain

Here we go again, Round Two of heavy rain, lightning and thunder here in Fairfield. The boomers are bigger and badder. #fairfieldct #morerain

Thunderstorm 7/6/24

Soggy 💦 and thundery ⚡️ here in Fairfield, localized flooding likely. Be careful on the roads, they will be slick. #lionsandtigersandbearsohmy🦁🐯🐻

Fairfield Beach Area Flooding

Absolutely saturated roads producing waves as motorists roll through.

Fairfield Beach Area Flooding June 14, 2024

Thunderstorm-driven heavy rain came down so fast and hard that it immediately overwhelmed storm drains resulting in widespread flooding throughout Fairfield’s low-lying Beach Area.

Major Thunderstorm June 14, 3024

INSANE rainstorm in Fairfield, with lightning, very loud and long claps of thunder, some of the heaviest rain we have EVER seen, marble-sized ice chunks, serious flooding, strong gale force wind, loose items getting toppled, motorists getting overwhelmed in deep water, power outages, the works. 😳 ☔️ ⚡️ 💦

Venturing out at 6am through Fairfield’s Beach Area. Roads passable, a bit slippery, main roads plowed, side roads starting to get attention. Take it easy out there if you have to head out. About two inches of snow ❄️ down so far. #fairfieldct #roadsreport #passable

Fairfield Downtown Post Road tour heading west at 6:30am Tuesday. One and a half inches of wet snow down. Main roads plowed and salted. Still a little slippery but passable. #fairfieldct #downtownfairfield #noreaster
