Flood of 1955 (Connecticut) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Flood of 1955 (Connecticut)
The Flood of 1955 in Connecticut is one of the worst floods in Connecticut's history. Two back-to-back hurricanes saturated the land and several river valleys in the state, causing severe flooding in August 1955. The hardest hit were the Mad and Still Rivers in Winsted, the Naugatuck River, the Farmington River and the Quinebaug River.〔Connecticut Flood Recovery Committee. "Report of the Connecticut Flood Recovery Committee." (1955). pg. 1.〕 Towns that suffered much loss include Farmington, Putnam, Waterbury, and Winsted. Almost 90 people died during the flooding,〔LeBlanc, Jeanne A. ("The Lost." ) Hartford Courant, August 2005. Retrieved July 3, 2011.〕 and property damage across the state was estimated at more than $200 million, in 1955 figures.〔Connecticut Flood Recovery Committee. "Report of the Connecticut Flood Recovery Committee." (1955). pg. 1.〕 The floods prompted changes in safety measures, river monitoring and zoning laws. ==Background==
