The sheer volume of downed trees and power lines is making the restoration of power across predominantly southern Fairfield County a very slow operation.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, 3,400 UI customers in Fairfield did not have power — 15 percent of the utililty’s overall base in that town. A little over 500 customers in Bridgeport remain without electricity.
Things are much worse down south. Half of Greenwich continues to be without power — 15,500 homes served by CL& P. And in Darien, 3,500 of the utilitity’s 7,800 customers have no electricity. Some 7,700 of the 29,400 customers in Norwalk still have no power.

I was driving along the Merritt this morning; there are so many trees down. I can see why a lot of people are out of power.
