| episode_narrative | On Monday, August 20th, a low pressure system located over the eastern Great Lakes moved east across northern New England. A cold front attached to this low moved east across southern Connecticut during the afternoon hours, preceded and accompanied by scattered strong to locally severe thunderstorms. Thunderstorms tracked east-northeast across Fairfield County between 2:30 and 3:30 PM EDT. The storms produced strong wind gusts between 50 and 60 mph, which tore down numerous trees and large tree limbs, many of which landed on power lines and produced power outages. One house sustained severe damage when a tree toppled onto it on Laurel Lane in Shelton. No one was injured. Funnel clouds were sighted by several trained storm spotters in Wilton, Norwalk, and Shelton.Hail, very heavy rain and frequent cloud to ground lightning also accompanied these storms. Heavy rainfall led to highly localized flooding of roadways and highways. In Middlesex County, flooding temporarily closed Route 9 northbound between exits 10 and 11 near Middletown. In addition, portions of Hartford Avenue were also closed due to flooding. In New London County, flooding was reported on Interstate 395 at exit 83 near Norwich. Flooding also was reported on Old Baltic Road in Franklin, with up to 2 feet of water reported on the road. |
