Heavy rain brings flooding to Northport Village streets

In Suffolk, several communities also feeling the impacts of the storm, including in Northport, and that is where news 12 generate Gartner is right now with the very latest. The streets of Northport have had rivers of water running down the sides of the street. I've still seen people out and about, but many of them have had to cross running water like this just to make it to the other side. One person I spoke with said water was at least six inches deep and even started seeping into his car. But Northport natives say it's not unusual. Every time it rains, they deal with flooding, even if this storm brought the water a little higher than usual. Pretty much every time without fail, there's a big thunderstorm. This entire road just gets flooded with water, and we have a bridge out over there for people to cross. But this isn't that bad right now. It's getting way worse, but pretty much people always get their feet wet, shoes wet. It's just a massive river down this main street. Others say driving has been challenging. Flooded roads and fast moving water can make for dangerous conditions. You know, it's like raining this storm, so it's driving like crazy people. You know, I saw the accident on the highway, so it was a little scary, but you know, it's really hard to drive under this weather, this kind of weather. So I would suggest, you know, stay at home, stay safe. So if you have to drive in the rain, be careful. I've also seen occasional lightning and thunder over Northport Harbor this evening and some moderate winds in Northport Suffolk County. Generate Gartner News 12.
