Every time it rains, property owners in the borough brace themselves for the likely flooding that will occur. Due to the lack of absorption points in Queens, just an inch or two of rain is enough to dampen basements and flood roadways. (Also, please note this correction: "Bethany Baptist Church and Sunnyside Reformed Church used to flood, but when EQUAL and others were able to push the DEP to improve drainage maintenance in those locations, the flooding stopped.")
