"All the trees that fell down did have power lines involved," Welsh said.
Welsh said Connecticut Light & Power was reporting as many as 600 to 900 Avon customers without power earlier Thursday. As of 4 p.m., the outage map showed that 144 Avon customers still don't have power, about 1 percent of the town.
