DEEP preemptively closed state parks before Tropical Storm Isaias hit the state on Tuesday. CT State Parks, State Forests and State Campgrounds will close at NOON today, Tuesday, August 4th in advance of Tropical Storm Isaias.&mdash; CT State Parks (@CTStateParks) <a href="https://twitter.com/CTStateParks/status/1290617004286791680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2020</a> All campers were required to leave campgrounds at that time, DEEP said. All day-use areas of parks also closed. The decision was made after a review of the forecast and an assessment from the state Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. DEEP said campers will automatically receive a refund for the nights' camping fees that were missed. Campers who do not check back in to the campground after the storm will receive a refund for the remainder of their stay. Because all day-use areas of parks and forests closed at noon on Tuesday, DEEP did not charge anyone for parking at its shoreline parks as visitors.
Evacuations underway after gas leak in NewingtonNEWINGTON, CT (WFSB) - Several residents have been asked to leave their homes as crews work to mend a gas leak near Main Street. Fire officials say that a tree came down onto the roof of a home on East Robbins Avenue during the storm on Tuesday. On Saturday morning, the homeowner heard a loud noise before a pipe burst followed by the aroma of gas. About six residents in the area of East Robbins Avenue by Main Street have been evacuated as a result and additional residents were alerted of the leak. CT Natural Gas crews have shut the gas off and are repairing the broken gas line located under the street. No injuries have been reported as of yet. Surrounding fire departments, including Wethersfield, Berlin, and Rocky Hill, have been called in to cover all calls that come in to the Newington Fire Department's station. Fire officials said that this the first gas leak Newington crews have had to deal with since after the storm passed through on Tuesday. It is possible that the crews that were at the residence where the tree fell on to may have played a factor in the leak. Stay with Ch. 3 on air, online, and in our app for the latest updates.

Residents in Glastonbury trapped by trees and downed wiresGLASTONBURY, CT (WFSB) – With so many people in the dark, many of you are reaching out to Eyewitness News for help. Glastonbury is one of the hardest hit areas. We spoke to people who are in the dark, trapped in their own neighborhood. This is how Alisa Bartkoski enters and leaves her cul-de-sac on East Lake Shore Trail. “The only way for us to get out is to walk in and out through a wooded area where there are wires hanging down,” Bartkoski said. Bartkoski and her wife show how they navigate through downed trees and wires. Nearby, there’s a roadblock caused by fallen trees. While waiting for cleanup crews and electricity, this Glastonbury neighborhood took it upon themselves to mark the downed wires in case they’re still live. “It would be a little tricky if somebody needed medical attention right away,” Bartkoski said. “On this street, I’m sure over 50 percent of the people are 60 years old,” said Ron Crump of Glastonbury. Neighbors say a few people have medical conditions here, some live alone. We learned they called police about the situation but were told it’s up to Eversource. “It’s kind of just a waiting game now and seeing,” Bartkoski said.
