Rain, High Tide Makes For Wet Weekend In Lindenhurst

LINDENHURST, NY - This past weekend was a wet one for some Lindenhurst residents.

On both Friday and Saturday, the heavy rain along with winds and high tide flooded many streets in the area.

Donna Zirbes-Steinmetz shared some photos from Riviera Drive showing her neighbors roaming the streets in kayaks:

Zirbes-Steinmetz said this was some of the worst flooding she has seen in a long time.

"We are finishing up on our house as part of the elevation and are three-fourths of the way there," Zirbes-Steinmetz told Patch. "I had made a sign couple years back about people having respect when they drive by without sending a wake. I place it in my grass when a situation like this occurs."

Another photos shows how the water nearly reached up to Zirbes-Steinmetz's lawn this past weekend:

Lindenhurst wasn't the only area affected. Resident Jason Cohen shared a photo from Cedar Beach that appeared to show the water nearly reaching the bar area:
