A powerful thunderstorm stomped across parts of Greater New Haven
Tuesday evening, causing swaths of damage and power outages, but
bringing little relief from the dangerous heat that is expected to
keep the region in its grip at least through today. Greater New Haven
and much of New England sweltered in 90-degree and higher
temperatures Tuesday, and energy consumption hit record levels as
people struggled to stay cool.
Later, the line of thunderstorms, wind and rain that bombarded
parts of the region, flooding some streets, leveled trees and tore
down tree branches and knocked out power to thousands of consumers.
