Nor’easter Brings Coastal Flooding To East Massapequa

EAST MASSAPEQUA, NY - Water from coastal flooding inundated multiple roads south of Merrick Road late Friday afternoon as the high tide rolled in.

Alongside the rain, wind allowed for the impacts of coastal flooding to be felt by many south shore Long Island communities on Friday afternoon as the high tide came in.

Water inundated Clocks Boulevard near the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue in East Massapequa causing disruptions to residents trying to return to their homes.

In addition to Clocks Boulevard, many other streets in low-lying areas experienced flooding from the nor’easter.
