Dad's house in a danbury got an enormous tree on the roof. Hats off to the builder though because the roof held with the exception of some punctures. Fortunately no one inside injured. Driver a couple houses down was unfortunately not so unlucky when the tree fell on his car.

There’s trees down in Hamden. Branches and trees in Fairfield also. The animal kingdom was disrupted by the lightening , thunder and rain. I pulled into the driveway to see raccoons and a fox at about 6pm

All good for me here in Monroe. Got in about 10 of 5, and it was drizzling by the time I pulled into the driveway. By the time I got in the garage and went upstairs it was like hell broke loose. Luckily just a big branch down that I already moved. Of course, and I went and moved it there was a big crack of lightning and I tossed the branch and ran back inside. I’m not getting electrocuted.

Wow. I'm in East Granby on the Suffield line and didn't get any of that. Just regular rain.

I'm in Brookfield too and this was either a microburst or tornado. Trees snapped and uprooted everywhere. Very scary storm.

Here in Manchester we were in some kind of bubble.

Same here, Im on Glastonbury/Manchester line. Just some decent rain and a little thunder. Didnt realize things got so bad elsewhere.

Where in Manchester are you, Dream Jobbed? I was just at Lucky taco last night. Also a regular at Silk City Coffee

Near MHS/Shady Glen. Things were bad from Tolland eastward and we had tornado warnings at work in East Hartford. Go to Lucky Taco a lot. Great beer list, good food.

Worst storm aftermath I've ever seen around here. I haven't lost power for more than a couple hours in 4-5 years and now they're saying we will be lucky to have it back by Thursday

try being with out power for 7-14 days

Sandy, Irene, the winter storm on Halloween one of those same years

2 days is nothing. Hopefully there not much damage to your property

7- 14 days, bah. During Sandy, by week 3 with power out society completely broke down, children became feral, neighbors were taking out neighbors for a cup of gasoline.

I laugh at your 7-14 days.

I said "around here."

I'm not comparing the situation to Pompei.

Irene, fall 2011. Was a senior at UConn and thus most people I knew were out in apartments somewhere. I remember cedar ridge getting it the worst between both storms. I was at Oak something, the apartments next to Hilltop so I was probably getting campus power and only lost it for a couple hours

Should be an interesting summer, I have never been told to seek shelter from a Tornado in CT before. If we are getting this, it should be interesting to see some of these Cat 5 hurricanes roll through FL and Texas again this year.
