Flooding Rain Creates Havoc Across Southwestern Connecticut

A series of storm systems delivered more than four inches of rain to several southwestern Connecticut communities Tuesday, causing flooded roads, parking lots, and basements. 

The rain totals were quite impressive.



The Bridgeport climate station recorded more than two-and-a-half inches of rain Tuesday, bringing the monthly total to slightly more than nine inches (9.03").
