Connecticut River Valley Flood Of 1936 by 
From: Realizing the Risk (1983):
page iii "On the weekend of June 5-6, 1982, Connecticut suffered its worst flooding since 1955. Heavy rainfall and flooding were widespread throughout the State, but were most severe in south central Connecticut where up to 16 inches of rain fell in about 48 hours, with most rainfall occurring during a 24 hour period. Floods and flashfloods occurred on most of the small and medium size streams. New peak flows were established for many streams and flood frequency recurrence intervals of 200 years and greater were common in small basins. Large rivers, such as the Connecticut and Housatonic, experienced only minor flooding."
