Candice Stone was out with her kids when the storms hit. She said when she looked outside the sky was black and trees started coming down. The store they were in lost power.

In Bristol a few thousand customers lost power. As the sun started to set, Eversource reported its crews would be working through the night and into Wednesday to restore people as quickly and safely as possible.
In Plainville, a tree came down on a condo building.
"I saw the wind was blowing pretty good and then I heard a loud thud," Greg Boucher, who lives just off Route 10, explained.
Boucher says the tree fell from one property, across another and then hit a condo building on a third property. While it appears everyone is OK, at least one unit was damaged.
