  1. I think NJwx85 makes the best point; the Passaic will back the tributary rivers up; exacerbating the problem. That river meets the Whippany and Rockaway rivers before the Pompton. It’s a tremendous volume of water that drains a large part of northern NJ. And that’s just the Passaic. The Raritan river watershed will be worse in my opinion based on the numbers so far. Downtown Bound Brook is going to be annihilated.
  2. Still humid, but a nice East wind. My squash took a beating in that TS last week. I’ll harvest what I can today, but plants are done.
  3. Makes sense to me. I’m sandwiched between that 7.73” in Bridgewater and the multiple 6” in mt. Olive. My basement took on a few inches of water overnight, which is par for the course in very long, heavy rains. Thankful it’s unfinished and made of fieldstone from 1850.
  4. Three smaller rivers are all flood warned, Rockaway, Pequannock and Whippany; all dump into the Passaic at Little Falls, I would think moderate flowing tomorrow.
  5. River flood warnings on the Rockaway, Whippany, and Pequannock rivers so far. Rains have ended here and moved East.
  6. No idea how much, but still raining. Wunderground precip map from Mt. Holly has me in “purple” colors. I would guess 6+ at this point.
  7. Chester, NJ; power back on at 11:30; hat/tip power crews wundergrounds precip map has me in “purple” colors now. I’m guessing 6+.
  8. Well over 3.5”; heavy rain continues. Just lost power.
  9. Well over 3.5” at this point. Just lost power.
  10. The trough is acting like a brick wall for the southern edge of the storm. It’s pretty impressive to see bands rotate in and get squeezed on that line.
  11. Stay safe. That river has tendency to flash. I think Bound Brook may have problems tomorrow; the Raritan watershed is filling up.
  12. Main thread has a link with active flooding on the Millstone river, that’s about 20 miles south. That river does flood regularly though. I think Bound Brook could be in trouble; but no where near as bad as Floyd.
  13. Dead calm. Decent rains. Eyeballing 2.5” since the onset. The property has absorbed it for the most part, but I think quickly approaching saturation.
