United Illuminating and Norwich Public Utilities each had a few hundred as of Thursday morning, but power has been restored to most customers.
The storms caused a lot of damage in Newington and a tree that came down almost landed on one man.
David Weidlich said he was on his way to work during the storms when a tree came down on the front of his car on Willard Avenue.
“All of a sudden boom, I’m like, I’m not going anywhere,’” he said.
Police officer responded and told him to stay in the car.
The downed tree knocked out power to a busy intersection and to neighbors in the area.
In Windsor, a tree fell onto a home on Robin Road, trapping a 3-year-old child in a bedroom, according to fire officials.
Assistant Chief Daniel Savelli said by the time firefighters arrived, the parents had pulled the toddler from the bedroom but the family was still trapped inside the house. Firefighters were able to safely remove the family from the home, Savelli said.
An ambulance crew checked out the 3-year-old, but the child was not injured.
The building inspector was called to the scene, but Savelli said it was likely that the home would be deemed uninhabitable.
A large tree split in two on Redstone Hill Road in Bristol and landed on several cars at Redstone Commons.
Josh Henton, of Bristol, said the winds picked up around 10 p.m. and brought the tree down.
“Last night, I could see the car, I was like maybe it’s just the windshield that’s broken, but it’s completely gone,” he said.
Trees and wires are down in Bridgewater, Burlington, Canaan, Granby, Harwinton, Hebron, Kent, Manchester, Newington, New Milford, Putnam, Simsbury, Torrington and Winchester.
