SEE: Park Slope's 4th Ave Turns Into Lake In Overnight Flooding

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Neighborhood streets that turned into rivers Monday night — submerging cars, bikes and everything in between — were some of the hardest hit by severe thunderstorms that flooded the city.

Park Slope was one of several neighborhoods that turned into a flood zone as heavy rains expected to continue into Tuesday hounded the area. Carroll Street and Fourth Avenue in particular were completely submerged underwater, video from the block shows.

The streets appeared to be barricaded off Monday evening, but those blockades also went underwater as waters rose.

The city's Emergency Management team advised drivers to avoid the block around 8 p.m. Monday and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson put the streets on his list of the hardest hit by local flooding across the city.

The flooding appeared to only spread a few blocks near Carroll Street and Fourth Avenue. Just a block away near President Street, there was no flooding, an employee with Blink Fitness told Patch.

The flooding near Carroll Street and Fourth Avenue also appeared to recede relatively quickly. Alda Martinez, who works at the real estate office between Carroll Street and Garfield Place on Fourth Avenue said around 11 a.m. that the water was already gone.

"We had massive flooding in front of the office...but it is cleared up now," Martinez told Patch.

Facebook users also shared video with Patch of flooding in that area. This video shows the flooding at Fourth Avenue and Garfield Place.

She added that she wasn't sure whether the flooding from the night before had harmed the building at all.

Park Slope was one of several in Brooklyn and Queens that got the brunt of the storm.

A number of New York City-area highways such as the Long Island Expressway and Brooklyn Queens Expressway were also flooded.

Areas hit the hardest Monday included Jamaica, Queens, Williamsburg, Park Slope and Boro Park, Brooklyn and parts of Staten Island, Johnson said on social media. Water started to recede from the areas Monday night, the speaker said.

ConEdison's outage map was down Tuesday morning, but the company estimated that more than 13,000 New Yorkers were still without power from the storm around 10 a.m.

Monday's severe flooding caused a number of New York City officials to question whether the city has made sufficient resiliency improvements since the incredible damage caused by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

"Bottom line is as #climatechange change gets worse, we're going 2 face more challenges from extreme weather, and more&more often. We must do all we can to get our infrastructure ready. Every night like this we need to recommit ourselves to the global fight against climate change," Johnson said in a statement posted to Twitter.
