Southbury, United States - August 19, 2024

One person has been reported missing in Connecticut after catastrophic flooding ripped apart and destroyed roads and trapped terrified residents as torrents of rushing water quickly rose and cut off escape routes.

Connecticut State Police said initially there were reports that two people were missing in the town of Oxford amid the flash flooding, but revised that number to one on Monday morning.

The dangerous situation began to unfold earlier in the day on Sunday as heavy precipitation continued to fall over the same areas of western and southern Connecticut for hours.

The National Weather Service issued a rare Flash Flood Emergency for the area as the deluge continued, and many towns in the region reported blockbuster rainfall totals.
