Mystic Aquarium employee, Emily McCabe, attempts to move a visitor's flooded car to a dry area of the aquarium's parking lot on Wednesday, July 1, 2009. McCabe was one of dozens of employees who spent several hours helping visitors retrieve their cars, some of which were more than half submerged in rain and drainage water after hours of heavy rain storms. Across the region, several roads were closed and hundreds were left without power.
