Summary
Southern Connecticut woke up to a nightmare: thunderstorms dumped up to seven inches of rain in just hours, triggering flash flood warnings and chaos across multiple counties. Westport was hit hardest, with emergency crews pulling 13 people from flooded cars as water surged through streets and underpasses. Police shut down highways, urged drivers to avoid standing water — which can hide deadly depths — and coordinated with utilities to restore safety. Stamford and Fairfield also suffered major flooding. Authorities warn the danger isn’t over: lingering water and hidden hazards demand caution even after the rain stops.
