Tree Crashes Into Naugatuck Home as Storm Sweeps Region

Dark clouds and heavy rain pummel Naugatuck.

A tree crashed into a Hillside Avenue home Thursday evening during a massive storm that swept through the borough Thursday evening.

No one was injured, however the tree remains on the roof of the 386 Hillside Ave. home. Samantha Ward, daughter of homeowner Cathy Young-Ward, said she was inside when the tree landed on the roof.

Ward said she went upstairs to a second floor porch to make a phone call toward the back of the house. At that time, the tree landed on the side of the house and forced the couch to fly across the room, she said.

Ward noted she was sitting on the couch just minutes before.

Patch will post a video of this event within the coming hours.

Also, wires went down on Horton Hill Road, forcing several around the area to lose power. Fire Chief Kenneth Hanks said Thursday evening that Connecticut Light & Power was on its way to fix the damage.

Hanks said there were no injuries or other major incidents.
