Ida Douses Tolland, Leaves Roads Covered In Water

TOLLAND, CT — Tolland residents woke up Thursday to several flooded roads in town, courtesy of that unwanted guest, Ida. The remnants of the hurricane dropped about 5 inches of rain on the town Wednesday into Thursday.

And that was after that other vagabond — Henri — threw about the same amount of rain at residents 10 days earlier.

One glaring example was Kingsbury Avenue that sits on the town line with Vernon. Water had covered it for most of the overnight period and, even after it subsided, one adult daycare center had to use of pump to get the pond off its property.

Other roads affected by the remnants of Hurricane Ida included Slater Road, Eaton Road, Weigold Road, Torry Road, Johnson Road, Goose Lane, Mile Hill Road, Ghering Road and Old Stafford Road fire officials said.

One social media pundit lamented that one driveway on Old Stafford Road hd to be reared there times this summer.

Gottier and Johnson roads were closed well into Thursday, officials said.
