That's Woodstock, CT (a very small town), not Woodstock, NY (where
Evelyn lives), which is some 150 miles away. Woodstock CT is in the NE
corner of the state, where many people are, indeed, still without power,
and will be until the middle of next week. Rt 44 is the main E-W road in
the northern part of the state, and it would indeed get power before
side roads would.
