Overnight torrential downpours led to widespread flooding across Long Island, particularly on the North Shore.
Stony Brook’s Harbor Road collapsed due to the heavy rain, prompting evacuations in the affected area.
“The entire pond at Avalon emptied across the now-collapsed roadway,” said Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico, who responded to the emergency situation.
Newsday reports that several water rescues were conducted in areas including Nesconset, Ronkonkoma, Smithtown, and St. James.
According to the Nesconset Fire Department, its emergency units responded to 13 calls early Monday morning, rescuing people from vehicles that became inoperable during the storm.
At 2 a.m., the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Emergency for the Island, specifically Northwestern Suffolk County. A Flood Warning Advisory remains in effect until 10:30 a.m. on Long Island.
“Numerous roads remain closed due to flooding,” reads the advisory. “Expect many areas of standing water. Numerous basements and several ground-level structures remain flooded. Isolated sinkholes are possible.”
As of 4:38 a.m., parts of Long Island had already received between 6 to 10 inches of rain, according to the NWS.
