As the storm moved east, the National Weather Service extended flash flood warnings into Connecticut, including the cities of Stamford and Greenwich, before creeping into Massachusetts. Forecasters said some areas could get as much as 5 inches of rain.
The extent of the destruction from the slow moving storm, which pounded the area with up to 8 inches of rain, won’t be known until after sunrise, when residents and officials can begin surveying the damage. But officials said the storm had already wrought tens of millions of dollars in damage. “We are in close communication with local officials and state agencies are participating in search and rescue efforts,” she said.
West Point, home to the U.S. Military Academy, was severely flooded. Officials worry some historic buildings might have water damage.
