The bodies of two women were found in flooded waters in Oxford on Monday, according to the Connecticut State Police.

Police said the two women, identified as Ethelyn Joiner, 65, and Audrey Rostkowski, 71, both residents of Oxford, were reported missing on Sunday.

They say the heavy rainfall and flooding caused their vehicle and their bodies to be swept away.

Oxford First Selectman George Temple says three of the town's bridges are out, and officials estimate it will take millions of dollars to rebuild damaged areas.
