The rate of rain coupled with the wind gusts means thousands of people in the Greater Danbury area are without power.  The lack of rain in the recent past also weaken tree limbs, causing them to fall and damage power equipment.  Eversource Spokeswoman Tricia Modifica says one of the challenges in a storm like this is that crews can't work in bucket trucks to fix the lines when the winds are blowing at a high speed. She also cautioned people to stay away from downed lines because they could be energized.

Eversource reported more than 150,000 Connecticut customers without power around 2 am.  

Due to a mudslide and related signal power problems on the Danbury branch, Metro North service is currently suspended.  Tickets will be cross-honored on the Harlem Line.  The New Canaan Branch is temporarily suspended due to a tree fouling overhead wires.  New Haven Line Customers should anticipate Westbound delays of 5 to 10 minutes due to circuit issues in the vicinity of West Haven.
