Can you make a list of all the streets in Suffolk and Nassau that were flooded. Please post alphabetically by street name and town name. Please also post in excel form.

In all seriousness we are stuck in the house. We live in a cul de sac and the cross street is all flooded.

West Islip here ... pretty much every major road is closed. Even Sunrise is flooded. Union Blvd was like the Hudson River earlier. I saw a friend's car go floating by ... this is pretty close to Sandy flooding.

I have friends in Lindenhurst who have multiple cars floating down their street.

We are on. LI right now and I'm wondering when are they ever going to fix the Northern in Jericho??? I've never heard of 10 inches falling in such a short time here. We came home at 9 pm last night and there wasn't a drop falling from the sky.

Took a call a short time ago from a potential client in central Suffolk whose basement wall collapsed due to excessive rain.

It was crazy overnight and early morning but the roads here in (North Brentwood) handle well for this type of thing. I hear it was pretty bad in south Bayshore around the mall and in East Islip.

We got hammered it was falling so heavy you could swim in the air and there's like 10 inches more in the pool but no major flooding.

Another strange thing to note, there wasn't a single crack of lightning or rumble of thunder during the entire rain event.

There was a special CBS 2 special news broadcast about where the flooding is exactly until 10AM. I know that they showed photos of the Southern State & Northern State Parkways as well as other flooded streets in the area.

One of the reasons some of us prep for disaster , provisions for months of reserve particularly drinking water.
We sure need the rain here , wish there was a way.

Most rain I ever seen. Period.

Never thought I would see cars stranded on Sunrise Hwy in water up to the windshield.
