Fewer than 100 power outages remain in Connecticut<\/strong> as of early Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>, following a morning of disruptions<\/strong> caused by intense heat<\/strong>, high humidity<\/strong>, and storm-related damage<\/strong>. According to Eversource<\/strong>, the state\u2019s largest utility<\/strong>, the number of outages dropped sharply from about 800 reported around 10:00 a.m.<\/strong> to fewer than 100 by 1:15 p.m.<\/strong>, highlighting a swift restoration effort amid the early summer heat wave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier in the day, Winchester<\/strong>, East Windsor<\/strong>, and North Canaan<\/strong> each reported over 100 customers without electricity<\/strong>, while Hartford<\/strong> saw more than 200 outages<\/strong> in the early hours of Wednesday, June 25<\/strong>. By early afternoon<\/strong>, service had been restored<\/strong> in most affected zones, according to the Eversource outage map<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In East Windsor<\/strong>, emergency responders reported a large tree collapse<\/strong> on North Main Street<\/strong>, bringing down power lines and forcing the closure of the roadway<\/strong> between Bridge Street<\/strong> and Pleasant Street<\/strong>. The Warehouse Point Fire Department<\/strong> warned residents to avoid the area<\/strong>, noting that the road would be shut down “for an extended period of time<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Bridgeport<\/strong> and New Haven<\/strong> areas, United Illuminating<\/strong> reported a minor uptick in outages\u2014from three at 10 a.m.<\/strong> to five by 1:15 p.m.<\/strong>\u2014but overall disruption remained limited.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The power issues<\/strong> coincided with the final peak day<\/strong> of a multi-day heat wave<\/strong> across Connecticut<\/strong>. Although Wednesday\u2019s temperatures<\/strong> were slightly lower than Tuesday\u2019s extremes<\/strong>, the heat index<\/strong>\u2014which combines air temperature with humidity\u2014exceeded 100\u00b0F (38\u00b0C)<\/strong> in several areas, according to the National Weather Service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Relief is on the horizon<\/strong>, with cooler air<\/strong> and possible rain showers<\/strong> expected to move in by Thursday<\/strong>, bringing an end to the unseasonable heat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fewer than 100 power outages remain in Connecticut as of early Wednesday afternoon, following a morning of disruptions caused by intense heat, high humidity, and storm-related damage.
