On Sunday and Monday, heavy rains in Vermont, New York and Connecticut caused flash floods across the area. As reported by Yahoo News on Tuesday, at least one person was killed by the floods and hundreds of motorists were left stranded after roads were washed out and rail service was suspended. West Point, N.Y. received up to 10 inches of rain.
"They're calling this a once-in-a-thousand-year event," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul reportedly noted in a Monday press conference.
