Strong winds blew through parts of Connecticut on Friday.
A wind advisory was in effect until 7 p.m. Friday for northern Connecticut.
Northwest winds up to 25 mph are possible, and expect gusts up to 45 mph, the National Weather Service said.
Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects, and tree limbs could be blown down, the weather service said.
Tree limbs and branches coated in ice from earlier freezing rain are more susceptible to falling down during the wind gusts, the NWS said.
More than 7,500 Eversource customers were without power as of early Friday afternoon. Most outages were reported in Glastonbury, Tolland, Mansfield and Coventry. Power was mostly restored by late Friday afternoon.

In Coventry, Coventry High school and Captain Nathan Hale School dismissed at 11 a.m. due to power issues at the middle/high school complex, school officials said.
