NORTHERN CT — Advance preparation for the expected onslaught of Hurricane Henri turned into some damage and flooding caused by heavy rain and high winds Sunday, after it had been downgraded to a tropical storm.

Patch editors in northern Connecticut visited about a dozen towns following the storm, and observed varying degrees of damage.

In Enfield, a storm drain collapsed on Abbe Road, resulting in the roadway washing out and contributing to a water main failure.

Rivers, streams and brooks in many locations were overflowing their banks, and some street closures occurred in nearly every town.
