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.
