We're right on the river, a couple miles north of the bridge. That storm took down a couple of big trees on my property. Fortunately they didn't land on anything. Sucks spending your Saturday clearing trees, but seeing the damage those storms inflicted in CT and I'll count myself as lucky. We have a neighbor who took down some unhealthy trees (part of one fell on our pool fence last year) just a few weeks ago. Glad he did because they wouldn't have survived Friday's storm.

Crazy pictures!
I'm going to be disappointed if you tell me that you didn't launch yourself off that uprooted section of sidewalk at 3:29

Did they fix or level that house that got split by the tree?
they've been taking it down over the past 2 days. As of this morning, only the fireplace and 1/4 of the first floor remained.
I didn't realize AZ'ers lived so close by!
I drove thru the Wethersfield section from Newington about 15 minutes after the storm rolled thru (thankfully I had waited out the heavier rain in the Sam's Club or I would have been driving thru as it was happening!). Was in awe of the damage but really impressed by the neighbors out there checking in on each other and directing us cars thru the side streets off Prospect to avoid the downed trees and flooded streets. Scary ride home to Hebron where, thankfully in our section, all we had was large hail and some wind and rain. No serious damage.

Crazy. We had a pretty wicked thunderstorm roll through last night, but nothing anywhere near that. I hate seeing all the big oak trees in our neighborhood blow around.
