<\/p>\nNEW YORK (WABC) — Brooklyn 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 across the borough.<\/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
