STORM UPROOTS TREE, CAUSING DOWNED LINES, OUTAGE AND BLOCKED TRAVEL

Last night's high winds uprooted a large tree on Prospect Street near Tuscan Road overnight, sparking a power outage for hours in some areas and forcing the road to be closed through the morning rush hour.

Crews were still clearing the tree and downed wires this morning at 8:30 a.m., with police blocking off Prospect between Tuscan and Harvard Avenue for much of the early commute time.
