AM thunderstorms rattle storm-wary residents

A line of thunderstorms early Wednesday morning woke up people from a sound sleep. The likely first thoughts of many were: Will I lose power again? Fortunately, the thunderstorms and the occasional heavy rain that rolled through around 3 a.m. were not severe. Southeast Connecticut, however, did get hit by stronger thunderstorms that caused power outages in that part of the state. The town of Essex on the Connecticut River had more than 570 outages at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. East Lyme and New London also got whacked. Lightning was also blamed for starting a house fire in Old Lyme around 4 a.m.
