When it rains, it pours.

Residents in Connecticut and New York used boats to wade through flooded streets Wednesday following the heavy rain and blustery winds that slammed the region, as a second powerful storm gears up to unleash havoc on the Big Apple this weekend.

As power was restored to thousands across the New York City area, many were left to their own devices when it came to navigating the still-flooded streets. 

Videos shared to Instagram purportedly taken in Lindenhurst show an adult paddleboarding through the streets with a small child wearing a backpack sitting behind with the caption “Gotta get the kids to school somehow…” 

Another clip taken in Norwich, Connecticut, shared on X by The Day newspaper shows members of the Yantic Fire Department rescuing local business owners who were trapped in their buildings due to flooding. 

Other footage taken from the Jersey shore shows floodwater so high the roads are no longer visible at all. 

The storm will bring intermittent rain Wednesday after drenching the city, Long Island, and most of southeast Connecticut overnight with between two and three inches, according to the National Weather Service.

“It looks like the showers are going to be on and off throughout the day, but by the afternoon, it’ll slowly die off. Especially the winds as well, they’ll also be dying down,” Fox Forecast Center meteorologist Nikki Nolan told The Post.

While the gusty conditions appear to be tapering off, a wind advisory will remain in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Wind gusts may be as high as 50 mph and the temperature is expected to drop as the storm moves out of the region, according to Nolan.

Though the downpour had largely stopped by the morning, damaging winds had left thousands across the tristate area without power as of 8 a.m., according to Poweroutage.us, which tracks utility information.

Suffolk and Nassau counties had about 1,800 customers without power, while there were about 1,100 affected in Westchester.

Con Ed, which had about 2,000 customers without power Wednesday morning, said it was activating hundreds of contractor workers to quickly help those affected.

PSEG Long Island, which serves Long Island and the Rockaways, said in a statement it had restored power to over 12,700 customers since 4 p.m. Tuesday.

A flash flood warning was issued along the Yantic River in Connecticut because of a partial dam break, according to the National Weather Service.

The break left portions of Norwich underwater, closing off several streets and prompting Norwich Public Schools to shutter for the day.

At least 3,000 people in the area were without power Wednesday morning.

A flood advisory will also remain in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday.

And New York isn’t in the clear just yet — a second powerful winter storm is expected to move into the region toward the weekend.

“This weekend, we actually have another big winter storm coming. It looks like it’s not going to really hit our area until Saturday,” Nolan warned. “It’s calling for more rain, definitely more winds as well.”

While the upcoming storm will likely bring snow to parts of upstate and western New York, the city likely won’t see anything more than flurries — though it’s likely the storm will manifest as strong winds and heavy rain once again.

The good news, according to Nolan, is that the weather is not expected to be quite as brutal as the storm currently leaving the region.

“Definitely rain and winds again but not as extravagant or as severe as it was yesterday,” Nolan noted.

“Then we should be in the clear after Monday.”
