Meanwhile on that slender riotous island ... newsday.com/long-island/to…

View from parking lot out to Rider Avenue and Smith Street in the distance.

High tide has hit in Patchogue. The area is mostly quiet as the village has blocked off the road at Leo Street. Residents say flooding is not as bad as earlier in the week, but they’re concerned it got this bad with a seemingly minimal overnight storm.

After the latest round of rain to hit Long Island, some streets in Patchogue near the bay and Patchogue River are dealing with flooding. Streets are mostly open but high tide is not expected for another few hours. @Newsday

The sidewalk on Smith Street here had been accessible as of about half-hour ago.

Water starting to flood onto South Ocean Avenue in front of Lombardi’s on the Bay. Winds have picked up and waves are crashing onto the dock. High tide expected just after noon.
