Hurricane Irene is almost upon us.
Yes, the showers have already been hitting Naugatuck throughout Saturday and, as of 11 p.m., the wind has been mild. But the worst is yet to come.
Heavier rain coupled with high winds up to 70 mph is expected to hit the region beginning around 2 a.m. and ending midday on Sunday.
