It began to rain during the overnight hours, and by Monday morning, Massapequa was already seeing the effects of Hurricane Irene.
Streets have already been flooded, particularly south of Merrick Road. There have been downed wires and trees.
Patch cameras have been out on the streets capturing the scene.
We'd like to see your photos too. But please be careful. It's dangerous out there. Please email any photos and videos to local editor Edward Robinson at edward@patch.com.
Concerned for friends. Unable to make contact
My mother and I used to live on Clocks Blvd Massapequa a few blocks from the water. Any news in that area? I hope all is well with our neighbors there.
Travel to the very south portion of Merrick Rd in Harbour Green Estates is possible. All houses in the south portion are standing though many experienced flood and property damage. As of today- Monday Nov 5th, there continues to be no power.
thank you.
