"AMATEURS AID IN WAKE OF CONNECTICUT ICE STORM
NEWINGTON, CT, (ARRL 20NOV02) --Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) members
got to work quickly the morning of Sunday, November 17, as an ice storm
knocked out power to almost 130,000 Connecticut homes and businesses, mostly
in the northwestern part of the state. The statewide alert--and the
resulting ARES activation--lasted 48 hours. Connecticut Gov John Rowland
toured the region and visited the ham station set up at the Torrington
Emergency Operations Center.

...

RELIEF efforts by area radio amateurs continued into the evening of
November 18, as more than 30,000 electric customers faced another night of
frigid
temperatures."
