At 3:45 PM, Monday afternoon, August 13, Hampton Bays Fire Department responded to a call at 47 King Street of a house flooding. King Street at this location is at the bottom of two hills. A storm drain in front of the location was already filled from the weekend’s storms and caused the rood to flood in excess of two feet of rainwater. Water from the street poured into the basement of 47 King Street, near the intersection of Stony Well Court. The fire department used an engine to pump water through a series of firehouses out of the low spot to an area on the other side of a rise in the hill. PSEG-LI was on scene to cut power to the house. The house suffered considerable flooding damage to the basement and garage. There were no injuries reported.
