The storm turned tragic yesterday and one man in Danbury was killed during the storms when a tree fell on his vehicle. A 41-year-old woman was killed in New Fairfield during the storms, according to state police.  They said a 3-year-old child who was with her did not appear to be hurt.

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said a man was killed in the Candlewood Lake area. Boughton said the man was mowing a lawn and when the storm came he sheltered in a truck. A tree came down on the truck, killing him.
