More than three weeks after Isaias blew through Connecticut, cleanup continues. Tree removal crews are still catching up, working very long days.
We are running from five in the morning to eightat night. As long as there is light, we are working, said Joe Brege of B&MTree Service in West Hartford.
Now, as Thursdays forecast calls for high winds andpotentially severe thunderstorms, more work could lie ahead.
Anything that we thought that might cause a problem for tomorrow's storm or this weekend's storm that's what we are doing for the next couple of days, explained Brege.
While tree crewsprepare, some wonder about Eversource. Isaias left more than 600,000 householdswithout power, leaving some wondering if Eversource will be more prepared nexttime severe weather strikes.
Lets hope thatthey learned a lesson and that they will be, said Steve Lancor who was withoutpower for three days at his West Hartford home.
A spokesperson for Eversource said theyve seen Thursdays forecast and are preparing.
We are fully staffed. We have line workers, tree crew, support staff all ready to respond if there are outages, said Eversource spokesperson Tricia Modifica.
If needed, Eversource said they have also contracted crews from elsewhere to assist with restoring power if necessary.
They will all be prepositioned around the state in advance of the storm so theyre ready to respond to any damage caused by the weather were expecting, said Modifica.
Meanwhile, people in recently hard-hit area are also taking precautionary measures.
Grab a generator. Get the candles out. Get the matches. Put food away. Get out a cooler. Get some ice." Those are all things West Hartfords Adriana Nace said shes considering as Thursdays weather approaches.
