CT Rain Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Connecticut Light & Power had one of their worst power outages from this thunderstorm. In fact it was the worst thunderstorm-related outage in 50 years. The area around Danbury still is a mess with a tremendous number of trees and wires down and roads still closed. There were 210,000 customers without power at some point during or after the storm which makes it the worst outage since the November 19, 1986 snowstorm and only the 1973 ice storm, hurricane bob, and hurricane Gloria were worse.

CT Rain Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My dad lives in New Milford..He said Brookfield was a disaster area when I saw him yesterday. Said there is discussion from the NWS of a possible TOR. I hadn't heard that I looked back at some radar images and didn't see any rotation. Seems like there was a fairly significant downburst in many of those towns near DXR on the leading edge of what was a very impressive bow echo.

Mr Torchey Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I never saw anything that really jumped out at me in low levels. Most was pretty broad and never really tightened up. I dont anything ever touched down, not at all, but I saw some rotation to my se over the sound over by st marys by the sea. It was a nasty gust front for sure!!

weatherwiz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I never saw anything that really jumped out at me in low levels. Most was pretty broad and never really tightened up. Perhaps there was some sort of brief spinup along the leading edge...perhaps a gustnado? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 There were unsubstantiated claims out of the hill towns west of the Quabbin (Leverett, Shutesbury) of residents who saw funnel clouds. Quite a bit of damage none the less. This area had 20000 w/o power. If you look at the video I posted the clouds are menacing and descending but not really rotating yet. The aforementioned towns are about 10 miles east of where the video was shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 ... Still nothing on radar that jumps out. I think it was a bookend vortex that developed on the northern side of that bow echo. Radar didn't resolve any tight rotation in that area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
