Coastal flooding from rain and high tides was a concern on Long Island beaches. Workers were busy Monday trucking tons of sand to the eastern end of the popular Robert Moses State Park to battle erosion, state parks spokesman George Gorman said. Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell opened the state's emergency operations center Monday as flood warnings were posted along many rivers and streams throughout the state. Road closures were reported Monday in several states, including New Jersey. Violent weather from the same system, including at least one tornado, was blamed for injuries to several people and damage to more than 30 homes Sunday night in the Carolinas. Two teenagers in North Carolina died after their car slid off a rain-slick road into a swollen creek. The rain was tapering off in the Carolinas early Tuesday, but some flood warnings remained.
