These were taken the morning of the flooding here in Queens, NYC. I visited the Marine Nature Study Area knowing that a strong storm was approaching and going to break the heat wave. About 1.5 hours into my shoot I felt the hair on my arms rising and saw the cumulous clouds arriving. I decided it was time to quickly walk out of the preserve The rain did not start for about 2 hours yet when it did the result was trapped cars, trains and damaged homes. We did fine as we have done a lot of work to control the flow of water on our property including grading away from our home. A drywell system, a check valve on our waste main and drains in the basement. All we got was a bit of seepage which dries quickly. I feel for those that had serious damage.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
