NORTH HAVEN, Ct. (WTNH) - Strong storms moved through the Northeast Thursday afternoon.
Incredibly powerful storms blew through the state of Connecticut, including several tornado warnings Thursday mid-afternoon for New Haven and Litchfield counties.
The storms knocked out power to thousands, especially in the western half of the state.
Eversource reported at least 33,000 outages by Thursday night. This storm comes on the heels of Tropical Storm Isaias, which caused hundreds of thousands of outages around the state, some that lasted for over a week.
Severe damage was reported in New Haven, Branford, Hamden and Waterbury in Connecticut.
The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF-1 tornado from Bethany to New Haven, Connecticut. This was a longer track tornado that was on the ground for 11 miles. Peak winds were 110mph and in addition to the tornado, there was a powerful downburst with winds of 100 mph.
Severe storms also raced through New York with a confirmed tornado in Montgomery, New York. That’s just northwest of Newburgh, New York. The National Weather Service in Albany confirmed the tornado and a wind gust of 82mph was reported at the nearby airport.
The tornado traveled 2.6 miles and had maximum winds of 90 mph.
