N.J. weather update: Nearly 8 inches of rain pounds N.J., flooding roads, creating a waterspout
"As of early Monday afternoon, a whopping 7.83 inches of rain was reported in Brick, where township officials declared a state of emergency. Nearly 5.6 inches of rain was reported in Howell Township and almost 5 inches was registered in Wall Township.
Heavy flooding was reported along a three-block section of Spring Lake, and several flooded roads were closed in Neptune Township, emergency management officials noted on social media.
In Sea Girt, numerous roads were flooded and closed to traffic Monday morning, and some traffic signals were out, according to the weather service.
There are some video's posted within the link....The third video posted by the brick township police dept. is of a flooded age restricted community. My mom use to live there & I know many folks that still live there, most have no reason to have flood insurance and frankly, although nice, is a poorer area to live.
I sat on my back porch watching this unfold and just about when I thought it could not possibly rain harder.....it did.
