Bright Giggles Daycare Center's backyard was unrecognizable during Tuesday's storm. 
>> Our tables, our picnic tables were flipped upside down and the water kept rising, moving up. 
>> Director Sandri Blanc called 911 and 39 parents telling them school would be closing early. 
But like much of the city, 
Thompson Street was covered in water. 
That's when the Bridgeport Fire Department arrived and Blanc tells us the chief had a plan. 
>> And he said, "As parents are coming, 
he'll step into the building, request for the children, and carry them outside to their families." 
>> And that they did. Here's a photo of little Josiah enjoying the excitement and getting to know the firefighters. 
>> The firefighters, they were very, um, very kind and they made the children feel safe. 
>> Neighboring business owners say the spectacle was a bright spot on a rainy day. 
>> They, uh, brought all the kids out to the parents instead of having the parents, you know, trudging through the through the the crap. 
>> The crew at the daycare center spent Wednesday cleaning up, good as new to reopen tomorrow. 
Tuesday, Norwalk spent the afternoon making rescues, too. 
>> Everyone's trying to get home, everyone's trying to get to a meeting at their work or to get their kids. 
Um, 
but unfortunately, a few people were trapped in their vehicles, in which the water was about 3/4 of the way up. 
>> Norwalk police tell us the rain and 
flooding happened quickly and they did 
three car rescues, urging drivers, as always, to turn around when there's water in the road. 
>> An additional of 5 minutes of time could have saved, you know, could save your vehicle most importantly could save your 
life.
