I wrote a blog yesterday about how I did not get to have my fried whole belly clams that I was craving for because of a huge storm that went through the state. The storm knocked down trees causing many power failures and forcing business to close their doors early.
One of the areas that got hit very hard was Wethersfield, Connecticut, where fallen trees not only cause power outages, but caused severe damage throughout the town. Police and Firemen were out in force do to traffic problems and down power lines.
The Hartford Courant printed pictures in this mornings paper that I think captured the since of what some parts of the state went through late yesterday afternoon and into the evening.
The first picture is a a tree that split a house in half, forcing its residents to flee into the street, luckily no one was hurt.
The second picture is of a scene that was all to familiar late yesterday. Downed trees like this forced many town residents, as well as the Public Works Department to be out with chain saws trying to clear away fallen trees.
I was very lucky that Middletown, Connecticut where I live, only experienced heavy rain and strong winds, but did not experience any of the power outages and damage that Wethersfield and other towns did.
It has been a while since I have seen damage like this around here, and I hope that it will be many more years before I see anything like this again.
