Jan 27, 1996
A low pressure system over the upper Great Lakes produced a general rainfall of one to two inches across Litchfield County Connecticut. This amount of rainfall on already saturated soil brought many small streams across the county out of their banks. The Housatonic River also flooded from Gaylordsville downstream.
