Update: Fast Moving Storm Knocks Out Power, Trees in Bethel

Update 5:05 p.m.:

The Eversource outage map shows there are 103 customers in Bethel without power.

Original article:

A fast moving storm barreled through Bethel Tuesday, knocking out power and downing trees in the downtown area.

A large tree fell across Greenwood Ave. in the area of Prospect St. causing traffic to be diverted to one lane only while crews cleared the tree with chainsaws.

On Main St., power lines were down in the roadway and a yellow police caution tape blocked the road, preventing motorists from passing through near Golden Hill Rd.

When asked which roads were blocked a Bethel police dispatcher told Patch he didn’t have time to discuss but would give an update “a little bit later.”

We are relying on you, our Patch readers, to update us. Do you have power in your area? Have you seen any downed trees or wires? Tell us in the comments.
