A water main break flooded the streets of Springfield Gardens in Queens just before 4:30 a.m. today, reported WABC-TV.

The 12-inch main broke near the intersection of 140th Avenue and 159th Street, flooding basements on several blocks and filling the streets with at least four feet of water, the station reported.

About 20 homes were without water, while others were left without power.

The cause of the break of the main is under investigation.
