Photos: Connecticut Storm Aftermath

Patch readers shared some pretty amazing photos of the storm aftermath.

Many parts of Connecticut sustained heavy storm damage with some possible tornado touchdowns. An untold number of trees, power lines and utility poles were taken down during the storm and at least two deaths occurred.

Crews were busy into Wednesday restoring power to customers. As you can see from the photos they've had to contend with entire trees in roadways. Some schools will remain closed into Thursday.

"It sounded and felt like a freight train hit our house over and over again," said Southbury resident Mandy Russ.

"I saw the tornado from my kitchen window," she said. "My house was in it because everything around me (from looking out the windows) was white/gray!"

Below are reader-submitted images from the aftermath.
