South End of Main Street Closed in Danbury Due to Flooding

Aside from the sleep I lost last night because of the rain pounding on my A/C unit, the heavy rains have caused many other issues in our area.

Newstimes.com reports that the south end of Main Street, near Elmwood Place right in front of the Community Health Center, has been shut down by police because of flooding. The skies dumped over two inches of rain causing several roads around the area to flood and become impassable.
