Looks like there's some pretty nasty thunderstorm cells coming across southern Fairfield County over the next 40 to 60 minutes, possibly sooner... if you're out in the open in seaside or elsewhere it would probably be a good idea to take the necessary precautions... stay safe folks!

Yep, it's moving in. It's getting darker by the minute.

I hope the stage is secure at this point.


Doh, I just heard thunder.

looks like it kind of petered out, might be a little bit more behind it but it's west of the Hudson so it might not make it anywhere near anyone

And I'm going to venture a guess that at least at the time you posted the question yesterday, the answer was not very because the only people on site Wednesday are people working/volunteering for the event...
