| episode_narrative | A powerful storm system moving slowly northeast from the Ohio Valley to the eastern Great Lakes brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to Connecticut, which resulted in urban street flooding, basement flooding, small stream flooding, and main stem river flooding. At times, the rainfall was torrential, especially in thunderstorms during the evening of March 9th. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches were reported across northern Connecticut. Some of the greatest totals included: Storrs, 4.86"; Willimantic, 4.50"; South Windsor, 4.00"; Glastonbury, 3.86"; Woodstock, 3.80"; Wethersfield, 3.77"; Newington and Scotland, 3.60"; and Southington, 3.56".
