Wethersfield's tornado aftermath

Wethersfield (WTNH) - The travel ban to the town has effectively been lifted and power is expected to be back on for just about everyone tonight, but there is still more work to do.

Town officials tell News Channel 8's Crystal Haynes between 900 to 1,000 customers were without power as of Sunday at 1 p.m.

To give viewers so perspective, last night that number was at more than 5,000.

The main arteries have been cleared, including Silas Deane Highway, the biggest of the main drags.

But side streets and the Broad Street Green are still in rough shape. Crews from town as well as the surrounding communities and as far away as Massachusetts are pitching in to help.

"Everyday we're getting better and better," Bonnie Therrien, town manager, said.

The National Weather Service just posted their latest findings from surveying the tornado damage.

It states that the estimated maximum wind speed was 100 miles per hour, with a maximum path width of approximately 40 yards. There were no fatalities and only one person suffered minor injuries.

But all this damage means big bucks for homeowners and a strain of the town's budget.

Crews have been working 12 hours or more overtime shifts since Friday night.

Therrien has declared a disaster and hopes state and federal money will be able to help.
