Town leaders in the lower Valley said crews are out working to clear roads, but there’s no word on when electricity will be restored to the more than 20,000 homes without power.
In Shelton, the National Guard joined the effort to help the city clean up after ‘Superstorm’ Sandy came ashore.
Valley Indy reader Jason Abrams snapped the picture above of National Crews on Walnut Tree Hill Road in Shelton Tuesday afternoon.

Shelton Fire Marshal James Tortora said the National Guard is helping United Illuminating crews clear roads so they can better assess storm damage.
“If they’re there, they’re helping UI,” he said.
Shelton — like Ansonia, Derby, Oxford and Seymour — doesn’t have an estimate as to when power will be restored.
Tortora said said officials will learn more during a meeting in the city’s Emergency Operations Center at City Hall Tuesday, scheduled to start at 4 p.m.
