Storm marches across the state:
A tree fell and damaged a garage in Meriden and cut off power to the home on Bradley Ave.
A tree fell on Shingle Hill Road in West Haven and police were blocking off the road. Herrington and Sons Tree Specialists are removing the tree. They said they got a call 4:30-5ish about this. They say the tree actually appears healthy. They believe this is weather related but say actually likely from the drought. This is how they described it: said after a drought a tree dries up and when it rains they suck up the water which makes them top heavy.
A tree was in the roadway on Old Maid's Lane in Glastonbury, but it has since been cleared.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation said the Rocky Hill Ferry is closed until further notice, due to flooding and high water.
At one point, at Bradley International, 50 % of arrivals late or very late and 30% of departures are late or very late.
