Day 3: 3,900 South Windsor Homes Still Without Power [UPDATE]

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — As Connecticut endured its third day of recovery in the wake of Tropical Storm Isaias Tuesday, many residents of South Windsor remain in the dark, though progress is being made, as more than 31 percent of the town's homes are still without power.

An update from Eversource Energy at 8 a.m. Thursday showed 4,397 South Windsor homes still without electricity. By 11 p.m., that figure had dropped to 3,901.

At its peak Wednesday, a total of 4,847 South Windsor customers were out of power. Many roads were either fully or partially closed due to storm damage, and several traffic lights at key intersections were inoperational.

As a safety measure, a traffic light not working does not mean drivers have free reign to run right through it. Instead, the rules which apply to stop signs at a 4-way intersection are in effect.
