As the 2018 hurricane season nears its official end, Connecticut can count itself lucky. Again. The state has not been hit with a hurricane or tropical storm since the successive storms of Irene and Sandy in 2011 and 2012 swamped the coasts, illuminating their vulnerabilities to the effects of climate change not only from storms, but also nuisance flooding from sea-level rise. Yes, lucky again - because a general consensus is that if either of those storms were to hit now, they would be just as damaging.
