What a storm! Freeport was hit by a deluge of rains that ripped through our area through the weekend and into Monday. According to Richard E. Holdener, ex-chief of the Freeport Fire Department and head of Emergency Management, our \'illage had 32 inches of rain.
In addition to the driving rains, high tides caused moderate flooding in South Freeport as far north as Atlantic Avenue near Hayes Street. "The Monday morning tide was exceptionally high, about 5.72 [feet]," said Mr. Holdener.
"But we didn't lose any homes or businesses and the old flood bowl didn't have the kind of damage we've seen in the past." He added that the mitigation efforts to raise streets in South Freeport made this storm "manageable "
"We haven't seen a storm like this one smce December of '92 " said Mr. Holdener. But this time there weren't any po\\er outages
