Photos: Irene Causes Some Flooding, Branches Down in Windsor
Bloomfield Avenue is closed due to flooding and power lines are hanging low on Palisado Avenue.
Now a tropical storm, Irene's wrath has begun to be felt in Windsor, with Bloomfield Avenue being closed due to flooding, low-hanging power lines on Palisado Avenue and tree damage across town.
As of 10 a.m., the storm shelter had not been opened.
Windsor residents have been fortunate as far as power outages go. 595 households have reported as having a loss of power. That number is much lower than neighboring towns, including Windsor Locks, in which more than 2,000 households are without power, and Bloomfield, where more than 1,600 households are powerless.
