Power Outage In Bridgeport and Trumbll

3:12pm–#Bridgeport Connecticut–#Trumbull Connecticut–I have received messages of a power outage in the Sylvan Avenue Whiskey Hill area of Bridgeport and Trumbull Police have just said power is out on Old Town Road area and traffic lights are out in the area.  EMS just reported Islandbrook and Chopsey Hill in Bridgeport is out.  Remember, if the lights are out at an intersection you need to treat it as a 4 way stop.  Trumbull Police just reported that UI is aware of the power out, a circuit out according to radio reports and the power should be restored within the hour.
