I live in Nassau County and work about a 35 minute ride from my home. Today it took me almost two hours to get home. Roads were flooded, Sunrise Highway, Merrick Road, side streets you name it. I have never seen anything like it, I was grateful to make it home. I went through a lot of water ( couldn't be helped, I saw two cars stuck in water), I hope my car starts in the morning.

@Jordan2 I saw pictures of the BQE and I couldn't believe my eyes! Glad you got home ok and I hope your car starts.
@Tori3569 thank you, the ride home was really scary. I was watching my local news on ABC and saw cars deep in water up to the windows. I don't think the weathermen thought this storm was going to be this bad. I wanted to add, why can't more people have some kindness, grace behind the wheel? We share the road, it was flooded, it was a blinding rain, bumper to bumper traffic, moving at a snail's pace. Yet people are so impatient, honking their horns, not letting you get in front of them, this was a once in a lifetime storm, just do the right thing.

So this morning I went grocery shopping ( I go on Fridays, needless to say I didn't go yesterday). Thankfully my car started and seems to be okay.

I'm from Westchester County.

My family home is up the street to one of the entrances to the Bronx River Parkway. Everyone in those areas knows how quickly the BRP floods and becomes quite dangerous.

Looking at the photos on the Weather Channel and local news channels was frightening.

Glad everyone is safe and hope the worse is over.

Now where's the sun??
