The 100 Year Flood!
Or at least "65 year flood" according to the radio. Over a foot of rain in some areas of South Jersey yesterday. Two of the three roads out of my neighborhood were flooded out last night during the rain because the creek overflowed, but there no damage to our house. Good thing we have a good sump pump system in the basement, it never floods. The main road outside of my neighborhood is still closed because of the giant sinkhole that opened up, hopefully they'll get that fixed by tomorrow, it's causing a traffic nightmare in the area.
Getting to work this morning was a disaster. I didn't hear that Route 73 was closed by Main St., so I sat for a half hour to move the half mile before I could make the illegal U-turn to go back. Wish I had four-wheel drive like the SUV behind me that drove over the median. I got to work an hour late, and of course since I work in North Jersey I was the only person who was late.
Camden and Burlington counties were declared Disaster Areas. It's a really odd occurrence, we almost never get flooding here. Everyone was saying they've never seen it like this before.
