<\/p>\nBrooklyn and Queens were hit especially hard as soaking storms caused flash flooding and other damage across New York City on Sunday night into Monday.<\/p>\n
In Brooklyn, heavy rain turned Neptune Avenue in Coney Island into a river and there was also serious flash flooding along East 28th Street in Sheepshead Bay.<\/p>\n
Part of the Belt Parkway had to be completely shut down due to standing water at one point on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“There is no time to prepare for it, it is something that comes up unexpectedly and it can be very, very dangerous,” said Gov. Kathy Hochul.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile in Queens, there were dozens of trees that came down.<\/p>\n
While people there were spared most of the flooding, they say the holiday weekend feels like a distant memory as they dig out from under the storm’s aftermath.<\/p>\n
Con Edison is asking customers in southeastern Queens to conserve energy while crews work to repair equipment.<\/p>\n
The utility company has reduced voltage by 8% in the area while repairs are underway.<\/p>\n
There were more than 1,200 customers without power across the city by Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Westchester County storm damage<\/p>\n
In Westchester County, crews worked through the downpours to clear downed trees and restore power to those who lost it during the severe weather over the weekend.<\/p>\n
There were big problems on Greenwich Road in Bedford, where a busted utility pole dangles across the street, resulting in a power outage for homeowners and a road closure for drivers.<\/p>\n
Not far away, utility crews have yet to address the tree limbs leaning on power lines on Chestnut Ridge Road.<\/p>\n
There was also plenty of damage in Yorktown. Utility crews from the Syracuse area worked to restore power along Elizabeth Road.<\/p>\n
NYESG reported power outages not only in Yorktown and Bedford, but also in the towns of Somers and Lewisboro, a clear sign mother nature’s wrath worked its way from west to east and left behind a major clean-up job.<\/p>\n
