The aftermath of Sunday night’s drenching storms and severe flooding is still being felt across the Tri-State area on Monday.
The flooding turned deadly in Connecticut where the storms dropped as much of 10 inches of rain. Crews recovered the bodies of two women who were swept away by floodwaters in Oxford.
Weather officials say the flooding was unrelated to Hurricane Ernesto, which on Monday was over the open Atlantic Ocean but still expected to cause powerful swells, dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast. The rain lasted into the morning hours in Suffolk County where a state of emergency has been declared.
