Torrential rains in southwestern Connecticut caused historic and fatal flooding, resulting in two deaths, significant property damage, and widespread road closures. Governor Lamont has requested federal assistance for infrastructure repairs and environmental cleanup. Over 100 people were rescued, including dramatic efforts in Oxford and Southbury where residents and pets were saved from submerged vehicles. Businesses and homes suffered severe water damage, with some facilities like Creative Starts Learning Center in Oxford facing potentially permanent closure. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, with power outages and unsafe road conditions still affecting daily life in the hardest-hit areas like Southbury and Monroe. Residents and officials remain focused on restoring normalcy while dealing with the extensive damage caused by the floods.
