Flooding closes airport in New Haven
Tweed New Haven Airport is closed until further notice due to flooding.
Airport officials said the terminal is closed and crews are working to reopen the airport as soon as possible.
Officials at the airport says they are receiving incoming flights, but planes aren't able to leave.
According to the airport, Tweed New Haven acts as a collection bowl for neighborhood flood waters. In order to open tide gates to drain the water, high tide needs to recede.
Microburst may have hit Wethersfield
A microburst may be to blame for some storm damage in Wethersfield on Sunday.
Town officials said several small trees came down, flashing from a building came off and several trees were damaged.
A microburst is described as a column of fast moving sinking air that spreads out as it gets closer to the ground. When the air hits the ground, it spreads out in all directions (much like a rock making ripples in a pond) and can cause damage to property.
Storm brings down trees, causes property damage
A tree came down on a car on Summit Street in Manchester. It also appears to have taken wires down.
A large tree was also uprooted in the front yard of a home on Waters Avenue in Rocky Hill.
Heavy rain and strong storms moved through the state on Sunday, triggering a tornado watch, a severe thunderstorm warning and flooding watches and warnings.
Most of the warnings and watches have since expired, but more heavy rain is expected to move through Sunday night.
