Redding was hard hit by yesterday's storm with trees and wires down all around town.  First Selectman Julia Pemberton says there are too many closed roads to list and asked residents to stay home if possible.  She cautioned that full restoration of power could take 3 to 5 days and maybe longer because this is a state wide event.  Redding Highway Department personnel and Police are out on the roads assessing storm damage and road blockages to send the information to Eversource. 

This looks like the 5th largest power outage in modern state history behind October Snowstorm, Tropical Storm Irene, Hurricane Gloria, and Hurricane Sandy.

As of 5am Wednesday, Eversource is reporting 3,679 outages, about 96.08% of town.
