Connecticut officials reported up to seven inches of rain
Flash flooding struck parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, submerging vehicles, stranding motorists, and forcing water rescues across the three Northeast states, according to a BBC News report.
The flooding interrupted a half-marathon, with runners struggling through waist-deep flood waters as rising water disrupted the race. The storms stranded motorists in multiple locations across the affected region.
Vehicles sat submerged in standing water across the three states. Emergency responders conducted water rescues as flash flooding hit the region.
Connecticut officials said parts of the state saw up to seven inches of rain in a very short period of time, according to CBS News, a BBC reporting partner.
