... A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 845 PM EDT for north
central New Haven County...

At 745 PM EDT... local law enforcement officials reported many
streets flooded and closed in Wolcott township. The Connecticut
media has also confirmed numerous cars stranded in water

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.

To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office in Upton
