Officials in Connecticut say two women died after being swept away by floodwaters brought by torrential rains that fell there, on New York's Long Island and in New Jersey. As much as 10 inches of rain fell Sunday and early Monday and trapped people in cars and a restaurant. A Long Island official says that hundreds of homes were affected by flooding there and that mudslides covered car roofs. One meteorology professor refers to the system as "training thunderstorms." William Syrett of Penn State University says "it's like each thunderstorm is a car on a train track, and so they just keep going over the same place."
