The strong, gusty winds took down some electric lines overnight leaving hundreds of people in the Greater Danbury area without power.  Eversource is reporting the biggest problems in this region are in Wilton, Ridgefield, Danbury and Redding. 

Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company noted that as the winds picked up, crews were called to an increasing number of incidents.  There was a power issue on Federal Road, caught on dash cam which looked like a blue light from a transformer issue.

In New Milford, Route 109 was closed by Washington Ridge Road because of a tree down.  Redding police say Poverty Hollow Road was closed near the Newtown town line because of a downed tree.  In Wilton, Police say Route 33 between Belden Hill Road and Middlebrook Farm Road and a portion of Sturges Ridge Road were closed. 

Danbury firefighters responded to various electrical problems, including a downed tree on Pembroke Road and Hamilton Drive, which also brought down primary wires across some driveways.
