The prospect of more turbulent weather — and damage — possibly coming to Connecticut comes on top of worries about the future of the COVID-19 pandemic. The day after Isaias struck Connecticut, Colorado State University’s department of atmospheric sciences intensified its forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, which typically runs June 1 through Nov. 30. The season’s height is usually mid-August through October. Property casualty insurers are navigating the hurricane season even as a pandemic is gripping most of the country. Connecticut is among a handful of states where infection rates, at least so far, appear under control. But in Connecticut, three-quarters of claims so far are related to damage caused by wind, followed by 15 percent, tied to water, with those largely concentrated in the western portion of the state, where there was more rainfall, Wucherpfennig said.
