Yesterday we were hit with tremendous amounts of rain in my area of CT. The roads were pretty sketchy and many of them were impassable. My son was stranded at work all day, because the road on both sides of his workplace were under a torrent of water! Fortunately he is home safe now. The crazy thing is that we didn't even know that this rain was going to happen like this.
SO because of that, there was zero warning and the whole event went unpredicted by the meteorologists. I was dumb enough to have been caught out on the roads during the worst of the event and it was not smart. I had to push my luck too many times and drive through areas that were covered by standing and also fast moving water. I was lucky enough to find a safe way home. After I arrived home my wife was showing me videos on facebook of the damage. Some of the roads were completely washed out and undercut with deep ravines left. I learned that Just because a road is paved doesn't mean it can't get washed away. The rainclouds just stagnated over us and kept unleashing the precipitation in unprecedented amounts.
