Several towns are dealing with flooding and downed trees and wires after storms moved through Monday afternoon.
About 10,000 UI and Eversource outages were reported across the state. Fairfield, Madison, Coventry, and Westport were some of the hardest hit.
In Middletown, a tree came down on a building on Crescent Street. Fire officials said no one was hurt. The building was being renovated for administrative use for the Middlesex YMCA.
“It’s structurally sound. It lost some of the eave up there. The building itself is structurally sound," said Middletown Fire Deputy Chief Albert Leary.
The tree stopped perilously above two cars. The drivers were nearby and ran to safety as the tree came down between the two buildings.
Hamden emergency officials responded to scattered power outages in seven locations and minor street flooding during the storms Monday afternoon.
Police in Stamford and Fairfield also reported trees and wires down as the storms moved through. In Stamford, Strawberry Hill Road was closed between Alton Road and Oaklawn Avenue after wires came down across the road.
In Fairfield, police said their 911 lines were being overwhelmed and asked that anyone who needed a tree that was not posing an immediate risk removed file a service request online at fairfieldct.org/311.
