Area braces for Hurricane Sandy's possible impact Connecticut Post Copyright 2012 Connecticut Post. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 1:16 p.m., Friday, October 26, 2012 Gov. Dannel P. Malloy Friday afternoon warned state residents to "take seriously" the possibility of seven to 14 inches of rain and associated flooding if the full brunt of Hurricane Sandy hits us. With the full moon set to exacerbate coastal flooding on Monday, Malloy warned tides may exceed seven feet above normal, but evacuation orders are up to local officials. Meteorologists expect a natural horror show of high wind, heavy rain, extreme tides and maybe snow to the west beginning early Sunday, peaking with the arrival of Hurricane Sandy on Tuesday and lingering past Halloween on Wednesday. In a Friday afternoon press conference with utility officials, said the state is preparing for a "moderate to worse case scenario" with the story. In an update issued at 8:15 a.m., the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection said Connecticut will be on stronger wind side of the storm "with the potential for strong winds, heavy rain, coastal and inland flooding." "The National Hurricane Center is forecasting that Sandy will continue in a generally northward direction for the next 24 hours as the storm moves out over open water off the Southeast U.S.
