Many rivers and streams are overflowing. There's particular concern in Norwich, where the Yantic River could crest at about 12 feet this afternoon, well above flood stage.
On its way to Southern New England, the storm produced epic amounts of rain from the mid-Atlantic to New York City, spawning tornadoes in Maryland and New Jersey.
