Centereach (11720) is in the Town of Brookhaven, in inland Brookhaven, close to Selden, Lake Grove and Coram. Many Suffolk properties use cesspools or septic systems instead of sewers, so a backup can bring sewage, not just water, into a home.
When the power goes out, sump pumps stop, and a basement can flood just as the rain peaks.
