Oakdale (11769), along Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
The August 2014 storm dropped a state-record 13.26 inches of rain on Islip, and basements in the surrounding area flooded. Garages, lower enclosures, and mechanical equipment near the ground are the first to take on water, even in homes that were raised. Bay flooding is salt water carrying silt and debris, so cleanup goes well beyond the drying used for a clean-water pipe break.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Oakdale look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
