As a gale whips through the state, cities and towns are being left with downed tree limbs, snapped electric wires, and an abundance of calls to 911. In Old Lyme, there's a report that a tractor-trailer rolled over on the highway.
The rain and wind gusts are expected to continue into the evening. A wind advisory is in effect until 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1, according to the National Weather Service.

On Monday, Nov. 30, around 3:20 p.m., Old Lyme had the most power outages in Connecticut, with more than 3,000 Eversource customers reporting a loss of electricity.
