Floods Disrupt Commutes and Parades | Durham News

Torrential rains slammed the tristate area Sunday, triggering flash floods that shut down roads, stranded drivers, and forced water rescues — especially in Northern New Jersey, Westchester County, and coastal Connecticut. Commuters faced chaos as Metro-North and Amtrak canceled trains to New Haven, and Tweed New Haven Airport closed departures. Firefighters pulled 13 people from flooded cars in Westport and used boats in Bridgeport to rescue homes overrun by water — all without any fatalities.

But resilience shone through: Paterson’s Dominican parade rolled on, delayed but defiant, celebrating culture and community against the storm.
