One year ago today, August 28, Tropical Storm Irene stormed up the east coast, hitting much of New England, including Milton.
Throughout the course of that Sunday, wind and rain pounded the town. Many Milton homes lost power during the storm and tree limbs were torn down across Milton.
The Milton Police Department was inundated with calls on August 28 of residents who lost power, property damaged by falling trees and fires caused by downed powerlines.
The clean-up of damaged trees and roads took the Town of Milton several months to recover from.
