Severe thunderstorms and showers across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast triggered devastating flash flooding, where roads became rivers and vehicles were submerged in the rising waters.
Approximately 10 inches of rain fell in 12 hours around Oxford, Connecticut, while Suffolk County, New York, recorded approximately seven inches in just three hours near Stony Brook.
Connecticut's Governor Ned Lamont described the event as a 'historic storm,' with urban search and rescue teams helping to evacuate at least 100 people.
Videos from varying locations depicted cars submerged in knee-deep water, and emergency crews evacuated citizens from areas affected by significant flooding and mudslides.
