"The flooding was caused by 2 things: a water main along the service road of Queens Blvd. westbound which was not fixed for 2 weeks previous to that so water was coming out from the roadway and a heavy rain storm which added to the burden that the existing catch basins were handling (the water from the water main break + the additional storm waters). The flooding was akin to Ida where water not only went over the curb but seeped into the vestibule of the nearby buildings."
