What flooded in town. We are away.
“What flooded in town. We are away.”
Went through town along the HoHoKus Brook late last night before midnight. Saw no flooding.
The brook was high and had very rapid flow but was unobstructed. In HoHoKus itself where the brook tumbles downhill past Maple Avenue: high enough to be concerned and very rapid flow, but also, no obstruction or flooding as of yet. The storm finally seems to have passed so it appears we’ve successfully dodged a bullet.
