New Haven, Conn. (WTNH) - A severe weather system unleashed thunder, lightning and heavy downpours over southern Connecticut Monday morning.

Connecticut Light and Power reported 11,300 outages at 11:00 a.m. Hard hit among that was the Town of Ledyard, where power was out to nearly 80% of town. By 2:30 p.m., only about 1,500 people were still without power.

Hundreds of lightning strikes were reported along the shoreline and southern half of the state. The state police barracks at Troop F in Westbrook was hit by lightning, but there was no damage reported.
