Former State Rep. Brian Ohler said heavy winds and dime-sized hail fell in Sharon, Salisbury and North Canaan. Sharon and Falls Village fire departments were being dispatched for trees and wires down.

There was a tornado warning for parts of Litchfield county until 3:15 pm. The National Weather Service was looking for reports from the Kent area about damage from high winds or a possible tornado.
