Two people died and at least 100 others were evacuated as a deluge of torrential rain pummeled the state on Sunday.
A video depicting the heroic rescue of a man and his dog who had been caught in catastrophic floods in Connecticut that killed at least two people on Sunday has made its way across social media.
A flash flooding emergency warning was issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for parts of Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield and Hartford counties on Sunday as parts of Connecticut received nearly 10 inches of rain from what some meteorologists are calling a “1,000-year” rain event. More than 100 people were evacuated in the state on Sunday, the Associated Press reported, with Governor Ned Lamont declaring a state of emergency.
The sudden and severe floods caught many people off guard, including one motorist whose car nearly became submerged in a flooded intersection in Southbury.
