Afternoon thundershowers caused heavy rain, resulting in several streets, backyards, and businesses to have flooding problems.
Several streets in the City of West Haven were washed out and some homes and businesses suffered minor flooding.
Richard Booth's backyard was under several feet of water.
"This is twice this year so far," Booth said. "It drowned out the garden and took over the whole backyard."
Thursday was not the first time his yard has flooded. A berm the city installed several years ago causes the water to collect there, he said.
West Spring Street was one of the hardest hit streets. There was at least a foot and half of water in the road as cars and buses tried to drive through and neighbors tried to clear out storm drains as the rain continued to fall.
