PORT JEFFERSON STATION, N.Y. – Sunday's storm forced one Long Island family out of their home after their backyard collapsed. They believe the town is at fault and the whole disaster could have been prevented. Port Jefferson Station resident Steven Abrams said his entire backyard collapsed after Sunday's rain storm, but the erosion started back on July 13.'Literal specks of dirt dripping down that hill, watching my property erode. And now it's all gone,' Abrams said.
'Everything I worked for is gone'There's a crack in Abrams' basement's foundation, and the deck and pool are unstable. His wife doesn't believe the structure will ever be safe again.'She'll never walk through this door again due to the safety of this compromised structure,' Abrams said.He said his young children are scared.'Would we have died? What am I supposed to tell a 5-year-old? Everything I worked for is gone.
