Elsa is long gone, but she left a big mess in Greenburgh that people say could have been avoided.
Some residents say the storm damaged their basements, garages, even first stories. They allege a pair of pipes in Troublesome Brook are to blame.
Homeowners say engineers they ve hired themselves found that one of the two pipes collapsed, blocking water from running through.
The problem goes back decades and even the mildest of thunderstorms wreak havoc on their homes, they say.
Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner says he will investigate two options to help families fixing the large underground pipe out of Troublesome Brook, and raising the homes in the flood zone. Feiner says the latter would be more cost effective.
