More than 2 inches of rain fell in Norwalk beginning Sunday morning, but aside from the city's beaches being closed, most residents weren't affected by unusually heavy flooding. A gaggle of geese was the only sign of life in the parking lot at Calf Pasture Beach on Monday.
"We've put a lot of time, effort and money into improving the drainage in the city over the past three years, and it's paid off," said Hal Alvord, Norwalk's Director of Public Works. "We haven't gotten the type of heavy flooding we used to experience before 2007."
The heavy rain, coupled with a strong east wind and high tides produced by a full moon, did send water from Long Island Sound higher than normal in coastal areas of the city.
