I'm not familiar with that area. Is this close to you?

I live in Philadelphia and work in Wrightstown NJ-I have to drive thru Bucks County and into Burlington County in NJ. Depending if I have to go somewhere else on the way home, I can go through Trenton and into Bucks County. I can take the NJ/PA turnpike, but the roads in my neighborhood get flooded also, so anyway I go I get into a problem.

Going to leave here shortly, been listening to NOAA radio and one of the creeks I drive over is starting to get really high.

Oh dear. I've been in similar situations here in Flood Central, Texas, so I can relate. Please be careful and check in when you're home and safe.

Made it, thxs

Haven't we been here before?

BIG TIME!

We didn't have the rain down in Atlantic City like you did up in those counties yesterday. I saw the Dopplar radar yesterday morning and noticed heavy rain right over Gloucester/Camden county. All of the rain was to the north of the shore.

It poured here for a good hour yesterday.
