October 29th marks 14 years since Sandy made landfall in New Jersey.
Tomorrow, October 29th, marks 14 years since Post-Tropical Storm Sandy made landfall along the Jersey Shore. Sandy was a true generational storm with respect to coastal flooding along the New York and New Jersey Coasts and in the hardest hit areas recovery took years.

Connecticut is now seeing a higher population of ticks. This comes as experts say they continue to see more tick submissions in the lab. wtnh.com/news/connecticut/co…
