Flash flooding disrupted a half-marathon and submerged cars. Parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut were struck by flash floods that prompted water rescues, left motorists stranded and forced half-marathon runners to wade through waist-deep floodwaters. Connecticut officials said some areas of the state received as much as seven inches of rain in a very short time, according to the BBC's partner, CBS News.
