View Finder: A Photo Gallery - Week of Thunderstorms

A Collection Of Photos From Events And Happenings Around Your Town Every Week!

This past week housed two very large, extremely powerful and impacting thunderstorms. Many homes lost power for several days as CL&P scrambled to repair broken lines and exploded transformers from the lighting and heavy winds these storms produced. 

Included are various photos that I took before the big storm cell moved through mid-last-week at about 9pm.

It's extremely dangerous to stand out during a storm like this, always take extreme caution when attemping anything of the sort.

These photos show the sheer power mother-nature can dish out in less than a blink of an eye. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of these bolts of lightning caused some of the outages!

Enjoy and we shall see you this coming week!
