An NBC Connecticut crew reported significant damage in the areas of Glendale and Ellis Roads, off South Road.
One woman who lives in the area had a tree come down through the window of her kitchen. At another home, a tree came down on a car just minutes after the owner got out of it.
The storms began to move in Thursday afternoon after a day of excessive heat across the state.
The "feel like" temperature reached anywhere from 100 to 110 degrees in parts of Connecticut Thursday.
Temperatures on Friday will also be in the 90s and a few storms on Friday night and Saturday will bring relief.
Sunday looks nice and more comfortable.
