Flooding At University of Hartford

Amazing video of todays flooding at University of Hartford. Great footage but have to feel terrible for the car owners. Hat tip to HartfordInformer for this video.

Hurricane Irene Floods Park River

For the second time in the last few months Hartford's forgotten river has flooded. This was little surprise after the heavy rainfall from Hurricane Irene, but it's safe to say there will be no urban kayaking today.

The Park River Flood

There was flooding all around Connecticut yesterday even causing some schools to be closed. Hartford was  also hit by flooding after the heavy rain on Sunday as the forgotten Park River overflowed onto parts of Woodland St on Monday.

The pics of the overflow are from behind Woodland Medical Center where the river took up half the parking lot.

This certainly could lead to some extreme urban kayaking if anyone were to dare try and traverse Hartford's forgotten river while in this state. More pics and video after the jump
