They bought houses by the lake so they could see the water from their backyard, not in their backyard.

Rolling trash cans, downed power lines and broken tree limbs are just a few of the effects of the wind and rain storm, but some residents say they're more than just temporary inconveniences.

They say when it rains it pours...into the road.

"There’s nowhere for the water to go there's little to no drainage, so it just sits and creates these giant puddles because there's nowhere to go," said Brewerton resident Frank Chmarak.

Residents say the water pouring into their backyards creates a moat around their house, “You can't work around the house because the water's there and it'll stay there. You're kind of imprisoned by the water in a way," said Chmarak, "I got company coming and where the heck are they going to park. There's nowhere to park," said resident Ziggy Kukulski.

Multiple residents say they believe fixing the flooding could be easy, but they don't see it happening anytime soon.

“You pay for it, you do it. That’s the town’s answer for everything - you chose to live here. That’s their answer for everything,” said one resident.

For now, they say they just want to see something happen, "Do something, that's all I'm asking, do something to take care of the problem,” plead Kukulsi"
