Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 brought record coastal flooding to the Great South Bay, with a surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet along the southwest Suffolk shore, according to the National Weather Service.
The August 2014 storm dropped a state-record 13.26 inches of rain on Islip, and basements in the surrounding area flooded. Garages, lower enclosures, and mechanical equipment near the ground are the first to take on water, even in homes that were raised. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Oakdale look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
