| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Ahead of an approaching cold front, a warm and humid air mass was in place over northwestern Connecticut on Tuesday, May 19th. As the cold front approached during the early evening hours, a few scattered showers and thunderstorms developed and moved from west to east across the region. Some of the thunderstorms became severe, producing damaging winds to trees and power lines. In addition, two of the thunderstorms produced damaging lightning strikes as well. ||The threat for thunderstorms ended by the late evening hours, as the cold front passed through the region and drier air moved into the area. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A lightning strike started a fire at a home on Weed Road in Torrington during a thunderstorm. Although firefighters were initially hampered due to the ongoing thunderstorm, they were able to contain the fire to the attic on the front side of the house. They had the fire under control within in an hour and a half. The family was able to go back into the home once the fire was put out. |
