Storm Damage Reports: Numerous Homes Damaged Or Destroyed In CT

CONNECTICUT — What can you say? There is no doubt that Tropical Storm Isaias caused destruction across the state even though the storm raced by us and the storm impacts lasted just a few hours.

But in a short period of time the powerful tropical storm knocked out power to nearly 700,000 Connecticut residents or more than one-third of the state, blew down hundreds, if not thousands of trees across the state and dragging down power lines, and one person was killed when a tree fell on him.

Numerous homes were damaged or destroyed by fallen trees and limbs and several areas of the state reported tropical storm force wind gusts.

Here are the specific storm reports:
