Pepco was beginning to work when these photos were taken last night. A cherry picker was high above Westbard at a utility pole. Traffic signals were still dark at the intersection where the tree fell. Ridgefield Road was closed between Newington Road and Westbard Avenue, and Westbard was closed between Ridgefield and River Road.
Another outage near Suburban Hospital continues this morning. About five customers are in the dark there. Considering the steady wind gusts over the last 48 hours, the situation could have been much worse. Winds are expected to be less gusty today, but temperatures will drop enough tonight to require a frost warning overnight.
