That area just gets ravaged. So sad. 46 is shut down now in Little Falls.

I remember seeing the Willowbrook Mall completely surrounded by water after Irene. Wonder what it looks like now.

I think it might be time to dam up that river and shut it down.  Enough is enough with all this flooding, we need geoengineering

It has to be flooded…and the Passaic hasn’t even crested yet. The mall gets dicey water-wise even during routine rain storms. The drainage in there has never been good.

that 3" in 1 hour must be anew record and puts NYC well over 4.3" now for the storm. 

Walt - any thoughts on river flooding levels for the Raritan and other major rivers?  Floyd type levels or less.  Seems like there was a bit more rain in Floyd (10-14" common in the Raritan watershed vs. 7-10" now, by my quick inspection), but antecedent conditions before Floyd were much drier, so maybe it'll be close.

Thinking ahead to January when we'll be begging for 0.5" of QPF from a storm.
