New York City's Central Park recorded more than a month's worth of rain since Friday night, with 5.20 inches of water falling in 72 hours.
In Brooklyn, residents in Bergen Beach spent most of the night trying to salvage basements as water and sewage crept into their homes. Families living along East 72nd Street between Avenue T and Avenue U were mopping up the mess in the low-lying neighborhood that is known to flood.
"Within minutes, it was just buckets pouring. And it went on for two hours," Jennifer Bernhardt told News 4."Today was horrible, it's like Irene to be honest with you." "[The DEP] shut down the pipes when the sewage starts to overflow," Bernhardt said. A spokesperson for the department said crews have been fanned out across the city helping homeowners, and admitted coastal flooding in areas like Bergen Beach make drainage more difficult.
