The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.
As Hurricane Irene moved north along the Atlantic coast and interacted with land, it weakened and made its second landfall as a Tropical Storm near Little Egg Inlet along the southeast NJ Coast on August 28, 2011 around 5:35 am EDT. Tropical Storm Irene made its third landfall in New York City around 9:00 am.
Irene brought sustained tropical storm winds, heavy rain, and destructive storm surge.
One death and two injuries resulted from high winds:
1 woman was struck by a fallen power line in Prospect (New Haven County)
2 fire fighters were shocked by fallen power lines as they tried to rescue the woman in Prospect
Approximately 15,000 people evacuated from storm surge along the CT shores of Long Island Sound where a state voluntary evacuation was in effect.
Preliminary damage cost estimates included $150-200 million for Individual Assistance covered by Insurance and $40-50 million for Public Assistance.
The number of power outages state wide peaked around 900,000 outages. The state lost around 3 percent of their tree population.
