Weather service assessing storm damage in NY, Connecticut
Associated PressHARTFORD, Conn. — National Weather Service teams were assessing damage in Connecticut and upstate New York on Friday to see if tornadoes touched down during powerful storms that caused power outages for tens of thousands of customers. “Last night we had 56 roads that were impassable.” The storms came three weeks after Tropical Storm Isaias caused widespread damage and power outages. “Yet again, we were hit really hard and where we were hit, it was incredibly intense.” Another Weather Service team was assessing similar damage in Orange County, New York, particularly in the village of Montgomery, about 80 miles north of New York City. The storms barreled through eastern New York state and western and southern Connecticut, bringing lightning strikes, hail and some wind gusts hitting 70 mph, according to the weather service.
