Connecticut’s Thousand-Year Storm: A Warning Sign of Climate Change’s Growing Impact

Connecticut recently experienced a catastrophic “thousand-year storm,” with one city receiving a foot of rain in just 12 hours, causing widespread destruction and at least two fatalities. Doug McIntyre highlights that such extreme weather events, once considered rare, are becoming increasingly common due to climate change. As storms intensify and occur more frequently, infrastructure in places like Connecticut is ill-equipped to handle the challenges. This signals a troubling trend that could see more regions facing similar crises in the future.
