'Customers should be prepared for lengthy outages,' warned a company official, adding, 'Now's the time to prepare with your family.'

The company warned that forecasts show highs winds, heavy rain and a potential storm surge along the Connecticut shoreline, which could result in thousands of trees coming down and causing power outages. The company is recommending that its customers prepare for the storm by stocking up on essential items including food, pet food, and medications.

Millions of people are now under severe weather warnings as states rush to prepare for the rare tropical storm system to strike. A hurricane hasn't directly hit Long Island or New England since 1991, when Hurricane Bob killed 17 people. New York City also hasn't had a direct hit from a major storm since Superstorm Sandy made landfall in 2012, devastating communities and leaving thousands of people homeless.

The storm system likely will be felt across a broad area, stretching from New York City through significant portions of New England, bringing dangerous weather conditions, flooding, and widespread power outages, forecasters warned. On Friday evening, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont declared a state of emergency and told residents to prepare to"shelter in place" from Sunday afternoon through at least Monday morning.
