It caused significant damage to a number of businesses at Klarides Village, a popular shopping plaza in town and what locals call the "heart of Seymour."

Seymour Fire Chief Chris Edwards said there are 14 shops in that plaza, and as many as 10 were destroyed in Sunday's storm, including a quilt shop that has been there for over a decade.

"When I saw it, it was just like, 'Holy cow. Like, what do we do,'" said Cheryl Ogrisek, owner of Yankee Quilter LLC in Seymour.
