Sam’s Club employees witnessed water quickly pouring through the front sliding doors. In the aftermath, inches of standing water remained inside, while cars in the parking lot were nearly submerged.
Meanwhile, at the nearby Burger King, employees were stranded in Whopper Hell when water began rushing in from seemingly everywhere. They had to be rescued via boat, but Brooklyn officials say that so far no one has been injured in the flooding. Plenty of damage was left at the businesses and to untold numbers of cars. Gonna be a busy insurance day.
While last night’s destruction was no joke:
Severe storm warnings are in effect until Thursday evening. People are advised to stay clear of the flooding zones.

It shouldn’t have been a problem for water coming in under the doors at sams club. Quick lock the doors, then grab a few giant packs of towels off the rack and your water barrier is complete.
