NJ Floods - update - March 14

Yesterday I focused on flood levels reported by gauges along the Passaic River, what I did not say is that major flooding continues along the Passaic River and her tributaries and is not confined to areas where the two gauges are located. While the flooding is not as bad as officials feared, it is still bad enough. Waters continue to recede, but it may at least a couple of days before homeowners and business owners can return to their homes or businesses. As reported by the Star Ledger yesterday, the NJ State Climatologist (Dave Robinson) reports that the recent Passaic River basin flooding ranks as the fifth worse on record. A report in today's Star Ledger may be found here. And here is a report from The Record (North Jersey).

I found a few videos to show the extent of the flooding. The first video was shot at the Great Falls in Paterson NJ on March 12.



The next two videos are from NY television stations. I believe that this video was shot this morning.

Finally, I found this video on youtube, uploaded on March 12 from a homeowner in Wayne, NJ.
