Huntington highway officials say they have been clearing hundreds of drains in preparation for the next storm.
0:53Crews are clearing out leaves and debris from storm drains on roads, including Lebkamp Avenue in Huntington, so it can fill with water and keep the road clear for drivers.Huntington Highway Superintendent Andre Sorrentino says pump crews will be ready to roll if a drain gets too full during the expected rainfall - but he's optimistic.
"We're hoping that because we've had such a drought that everything is going to drain," says Sorrentino."Tomorrow morning's commute is going to be treacherous," says Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. AAA says give yourself extra time to get where you need to go during the rainstorm because the roads are expected to be slick.
"Fluids are constantly leaking from vehicles, and they get out onto the road and dry into those stains that we see. And when it starts to rain, all those things will liquify again and become very, very slippery," says Robert Sinclair Jr., with AAA."I'm happy, shouldn't we be? Really scary to hear about all the flashfires," says Anna Turchiano, of Garden City.
Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin says if you need help during the storm, reach out to the town by calling or messaging them through social media.2:09
