part of the concern here, guys, is these are low-lying areas and some of these areas are surrounded on two or three sides by water. here in groton, you have the river into long island sound right there, low-lying areas, businesses, industries along this river. a pfizer plant, a submarine manufacturing facility and a u.s. naval submarine base, and then private boat owners battening down the hatches. >> we hunkered down for all of the stuff that could empblow aw. my main concern is the boat. we tied it up nice for the storm. >> reporter: so that storm surge is a real concern. 3 to 5 feet worth of storm surge is going to hit here, we think. plus, you have got two high tides that they will be dealing with, one at a little less than four hours from now at 9:50 p.m.
