major flooding here in yonkers, a couple roads are completely flooded, and a bridge over the saw mill river had about 1 of foot on it, made it safely to work, even my work lot had major flooding at the bottom of it.

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 

 

Definitely something to consider. Seems like this is a problem that will only get worse if left unchecked.

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.

The Ramapo and Pequannock meet in Pompton Lakes which then flows into Wanaque reservoir. When the dam opens it sends water downstream into Pompton Lakes. The Ramapo then flows into the Pompton River which floods Pequannock, Pompton Plains, Wayne and Lincoln Park. The Pompton ends at the Passaic River at two bridges road. It takes quite awhile for the Passaic to get all of the water. Two bridges is less than a mile from Williwbrook mall. 

If the Passaic gets high enough it will actually backflow into the Pompton.

strong wind gusts bouncing the car around, any of these strong gusts with a soiled ground is not a good look.

I'm surprised no one tried to dam up the river before, considering how often it floods and how densely populated the area is.

Newark has now received 7.77” of rain. That surpassed the previous daily record of 7.69”, which was set on July 28, 1897.

Did anyone hear about the levee breaking in bound brook?

[Northof78]

This will be devastating to many towns in N/C NJ and parts of NYC, on par with Irene or now in some spots worse

Yup

I can’t see anything outside right now but it is pouring here in SW Suffolk now and the winds are gusting the highest they have so far. At least 30-35mph. Rain just driving into the side of my house. 

[cleetussnow]

Don’t worry about the clean up in the city. DiBlasio is in charge!

 

oh wait.

The river flooding is going to have to be near historic, right?
