Severe weather conditions have led to significant flooding in parts of the Northeast, with Norwich CT experiencing a Yantic River flooding. In Norwich, Connecticut, the overflowing Yantic River, exacerbated by heavy rain, has caused a partial dam break. This has triggered a mandatory evacuation for areas along the river, including Bozrah. Norwich Public Utilities had to take a substation offline, disrupting power to thousands. Residents requiring emergency assistance are advised to call 9-1-1. Additionally, major flooding was reported this morning at Hampton Beach, NH.
