Day 3: More Than 2,700 WL-EW Homes Still Without Power [UPDATE]

WINDSOR LOCKS-EAST WINDSOR, CT — As Connecticut endured its third day of recovery in the wake of Tropical Storm Isaias Tuesday, many residents of East Windsor remain in the dark, though significant progress is being made, as more than 42 percent of the town's homes are still without power. Windsor Locks is nearly completely back on line, with all but 98 customers having service restored.

An update from Eversource Energy at 8 a.m. Thursday showed 3,753 East Windsor homes still without electricity, as well as 3,439 in Windsor Locks. By 11 p.m., East Windsor's total had dropped to 2,684.

At its peak Wednesday, a total of 7,378 customers were out of power in the two towns. 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.
