Annette Landry, a resident of Manchester, Connecticut, a Hartford suburb some 40 miles inland, hoped Monday’s rains wouldn’t be a repeat of the deluge that left three units in her condo complex under a few inches of water Sunday.
Firefighters said they helped evacuate 18 homes and made several rescues after Henri dumped about 5 inches of rain.
«It was a tragedy that this happened, because the people who live here are people who can ill afford to live anywhere else,» said Landry, a 72-year-old retiree whose second-floor home was spared.
In central New Jersey, Dolores Hebert was still shaken Monday after being ferried to safety by boat with her dog and cat as 8 inches of rain fell and water surged through the streets in Rossmoor.
«I was sleeping and when I woke up, it was up to my knees,» the 76-year-old said as she stood by a front door bearing 18-inch-high watermarks. «I didn’t know what to do. I panicked.»
