Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine toured Ocean Beach to survey the damage.
He’s calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to declare a state of emergency, which officials said would help with getting aid from the federal government.
Travis Darienzo, owner of Dockside Brick Oven Pizza & Deli, said there were 5 inches of water inside. Darienzo said they’re probably going to have to redo the floors. The Ocean Beach mayor said this was the worst flooding since Superstorm Sandy.
