Flooding Hits Tristate Area Hard | Charlotte News

Torrential rains slammed the tristate area Sunday, triggering flash floods that shut down roads, stranded drivers, and forced water rescues — with some spots seeing up to two inches of rain per hour. Metro-North and Amtrak lines to New Haven ground to a halt, Tweed Airport closed departures, and emergency crews pulled 13 people from submerged cars in Westport. Downtown streets turned into rivers, boats ferried residents from flooded homes in Bridgeport, and cars were swallowed up to their windows — all while officials warned against lingering floodwaters. Thankfully, events like Paterson’s Dominican parade still rolled on, just a bit late. Stay alert — weather can turn fast, and hazards can linger long after the rain stops.
