Event Summary

A low pressure system intensified as it moved north along the coast. High astronomical tides combined with brief easterly gales that developed in advance of the approaching low and caused water to pile-up along sections of the coast during Friday morning's high tide. Tidal flooding submerged cars under 2 feet of water along Rockaway Blvd. in Brookville. Moderate tidal flooding was also reported at Howard Beach in Queens. In Nassau County, moderate tidal flooding occurred in Freeport. In Suffolk County, moderate flooding caused some road closures in Southampton.
