Southern Brooklyn gets hit by both kinds of NYC flooding: coastal flooding from storm surge, and flash flooding from heavy rain that overwhelms streets and sewers. During the July 2026 storms, Neptune Avenue in Coney Island turned into a river and East 28th Street in Sheepshead Bay saw serious flash flooding.
