At approximately 4:45 PM this afternoon a strong storm front passed over North Trumbull affecting areas of Tashua, Daniels Farm area, and a small area of Nichols. At this time there are over 4,000 people without power. The Town of Trumbull is working closely with United Illuminating (UI) to evaluate the totality of wires down and prepare for restoration. At this time there is no estimated restoration time. We ask all residents to stay away from wires that are down as they may still be live. Residents should call UI to report power outages at 800-722-5584. Multiple roads throughout town are closed. Highway workers are working diligently to reopen roads. We ask residents to remain vigilant and patient while we work to restore power and open roads.
