Simsbury will be seeking federal disaster funding to clean up extensive damage from a possible microburst that ripped through the town on Friday afternoon.

The storm left thousands of Connecticut households without power into Saturday. At the peak of the storm, Eversource reported that more than 10,000 customers were effected.

Approximately 954 households were still without power as of Saturday afternoon, according to Eversource. The bulk of those outages were in Simsbury and East Windsor where powerful winds knocked down power lines and trees. Almost 600 households were without power in town around 2 p.m, according to the Eversource Outage Map.

Simsbury bore the brunt of the storm with winds reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. The powerful storm, a suspected microburst, hit Simsbury around 2:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes toured the damage for about two hours Saturday on multiple streets with state Rep. Melissa Osborne and First Selectwoman Wendy Mackstutis. Some of the heaviest damage was on Winterset Lane, Musket Trail, Carver Circle, East Tomstead Road, Stodmor Road, and Barry Lane, among others.

The sudden storm, Osborne said, was described as a “wet microburst.”

Gov. Ned Lamont called  Mackstutis on Saturday and offered assistance, which will lead to equipment like wood chippers arriving from the state transportation department.

“The governor reached out, so they’re coming out to help,” Mackstutis said Saturday.

In one of the homes, a 19-year-old man had been lying in his bed when a tree crashed through the roof and missed him by about one foot, Osborne said. No major injuries were reported.

The winds wreaked havoc at Simsbury airport where several planes suffered damage, according to airport manager Bradford Griswold. Two planes were totaled, one suffered severe damage and a few airplanes suffered cosmetic damage, according to Griswold. He said that before the airport’s anemometer broke, it clocked the wind speed at 51 knots or 58 mph.

One of the planes at the airport took lift and traveled around 300-feet before landing on top of one the airport’s hangars about 20 feet off the ground. That plane is considered a total loss, according to Griswold.

“The aircraft has a stall speed of 63 knots or 72 mph. So to give you an idea, that aircraft doesn’t fly unless its above 63 knots. The plane was tossed about a football field without any control input and through the air cartwheeling over stuff. So realistically the winds had to be around 70 knots or greater to have that kind of lift.”

Griswold said that a tree also fell on one of the building’s on the airport and that he expects the cleanup to take several months.

Town officials in Simsbury convened a storm assessment meeting Saturday morning to discuss the continuing cleanup operation. The town said its public works department is currently clearing brush and debris and some roads remain closed. However, all main roads are back to being open, according to the town.
