Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim declared a weather emergency Saturday as a massive storm barrels toward Connecticut's biggest city.
"We're here at the Emergency Operations Center getting a full briefing from the National Weather Service, because preparation is something we do very well here in Bridgeport, but it's got to be a team sport," Ganim said on Sunday. "The storm preparation effort will only be successful if all of the experts and the crews and the first responders work together."
George Kelly, a Bridgeport Public Facilities driver, said he began prepping Bridgeport streets at 6 a.m. Saturday.
"We're out there laying down the groundwork, literally, to help keep our community safe no matter what Mother Nature brings," Kelly said.
