Eversource has released that at least 142 Westporters are without power this afternoon, and that over two thousand Norwalk residents have joined them. Across the State, 2,308 customers are without service - making the two towns the overwhelming majority of those suffering without air conditioning as the heat index stays just two degrees below 100 this afternoon. The outage is contained to the northwestern portion of the community, surrounding the Cranbury Road and Old Hill neighborhoods. No reason for the outage has been released yet.
