Tropical Storm Andrea is moving toward New England and there are some things to keep in mind as the storm moves north.
The storm will bring up to 4-and-a-half inches of rain to parts of the state, so clearing your gutters is one way to protect your home.
Once the rain picks up, one of the biggest concerns for Connecticut is urban street flooding.
If you’re in your car and water comes up around you, get out and move to higher ground right away.
Cars can be swept away in just two feet of moving water, according to the Connecticut Guide to Emergency Preparedness.
More flooding safety tips are posted on the National Weather Service web site.
