Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont declared a statewide emergency after Sunday's historic flooding. This is only the second time in state history that a flash flood emergency has been declared.

"The sudden and severe flooding has caused significant damage to infrastructure in the western portion of the state, resulting in evacuations, rescues and more than two dozen road closures that we anticipate will need to be closed for an extended period," Lamont said.
