Sections of almost all of Long Island’s major roadways were closed during this morning’s commute.    Due to the severe flooding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo dispatched both emergency equipment and personnel.

Nearly every major roadway in Suffolk and Nassau County experienced a full or partial closure due to flooding, according to the Department of Transportation.  In many cases, all lanes were closed for several hours.  This caused traffic to back up for miles.

According to the National Weather Service, 13.27 inches of rain were recorded at Islip’s Long Island MacArthur Airport between midnight Tuesday and 10:30 am this morning.  Motorists should be careful when driving today.  Flooding has made commuting difficult across the island.
