Towns, cities recovering from Tuesday’s storm, flooding

BRIDGEPORT — Towns and cities along the state’s coastline were in recovery-mode Wednesday after a storm and extensive flooding hit the region hard Tuesday. Rain started to fall early Tuesday morning in Connecticut and continued to fall well into the evening. Flooding came in the late afternoon and caused problems along the coastline for hours, ranging from cars stranded on flooded streets to flooded homes. The common denominator of Tuesday’s flooding seemed to be that areas that aren’t typically prone to flooding took on a lot of water. In Bridgeport, low-lying sections of Park Avenue saw enough flooding to stall cars and strand motorists. In terms of rainfall, the Bridgeport Emergency Operations Center reported 6.
