Devastated after her home collapsed in the aftermath of Sunday's deadly flooding in Connecticut, Randi Marcucio got some good news this week that warmed
In this photo provided by Randi Marcucio, the remains of her home sits collapsed during heavy flooding in Oxford, Conn., Monday, Aug. 19, 2024. Devastated after her home collapsed in the aftermath of Sunday’s deadly flooding in Connecticut, Randi Marcucio got some good news this week that warmed her heart and eased her despair.
A stranger, Nancy Lewis, was walking with a friend along Compo Beach in Westport on Monday when she saw what looked like a photo in the water. She picked it up and saw there were two sonograms on a single piece of paper with Marcucio’s name on it. Oxford is an inland town along the Housatonic River, about 20 miles north of where the river empties into Long Island Sound between Stratford and Milford. It’s another 15 miles west to Compo Beach. The brook next to Marcucio’s home runs into the Housatonic.
She considers herself lucky. The storm wreaked havoc on towns in the area, washing out bridges, flooding homes and businesses and leading to numerous rescues. Two women died after being swept away by floodwaters elsewhere in Oxford in different incidents. The sonograms were not boxed up or in a plastic bag. They’re among the few belongings she was able to recoup. She didn’t think the house was going to collapse and didn’t believe she needed to remove important items. But she did get her son’s teddy bear out the night before. Priceless mementos of her mother, who died when she was 12, are gone, including a hairbrush and a bottle of perfume.
