Yeah I hear its suppose to be pretty bad. Lots of flooding...which sucks for me because I live on the water.....debating on what to do with the car.....It it looks like its gett bad I think me and the car are just going to leave :) It just started to rain lightly here a little while ago...hopefully we do not get anything :)

[Jersey_TA]

Just started right before my lunch break here. Drove the T/A back to work and it started to slow down. I guess it scared the rain away lol.

[ar0ck]

Just cloudy up north! Its getting cold though. I was wearing shorts today!

[ShitOnWheels]

The storm wasn't supposed to come until tonight/tomorrow morning. It's on it's way.

Blah.

[qwikz28]

i gotta do a lot of driving tomorrow. its gonna be an interesting day to say the least.

[Kojak]

IMO all thats going to happen is a lot of wind the ocean will probily swell up a foot or so, and all the north is going to get is some heavy raind and flash flooding. It'll be a good storm but I doubt its going to be crazy...

[Ian]

just started raining here

[maroman88]

just got the camaro home as it started to drizzle... just made it lol

[Teds89IROC]

nothing yet here, i gotta finish some work outside! :lol:

[Teds89IROC]

just started coming down pretty steady not too long ago

[GrandmasterCow]

pretty heavy right now

[Jersey_TA]

pretty heavy right now

Werd, it's pouring here at work since about 3 am

[ted gerlach]

the water is flowing 2 feet of the curb into the stream, when that fills up and hight tide gets here i might be underwater again,

[bandit88]

nothing really here but rain rain rain :cry:

[BonzoHansen]

We got at least 2" of rain last night.

[Savage_Messiah]

bwahah i left the camaro's window open yesterday... just got up and went outside to check it out around 10 mins ago... pulled the drain plugs, rolled up the window, walked away. Although I will need a towel for the seat to move it and get the benz out...

[JL8Jeff]

We've had a pretty good amount of rain overnight so far. I pulled the boat out of the river yesterday so I wouldn't have to deal with the boat stuck in the trees again like last year's flood.

[Frosty]

I got caught in it last night at 11pm driving home from family poker night in Medford Lakes. Thank God I took the drag radials off, heh.

It's coming down in buckets up here now.

I'm glad im not there for the rain...i would have objects floating inside my car right now.

[ar0ck]

My back yard is flooding!

[98tadriver]

The rain is going to carry your precious car away lol

[Frosty]

Yeah no kidding. :rofl: :rofl:

[firehawk1120]

same here and we have ducks swimming around like it's an outdoor pool. LOL

My back yard is flooding!

[Frosty]

The creek behind my apartment is starting to come up to the parking lot. Crazy stuff.

[ZeroCool8891]

flooding by me

[GP99GT]

my yard is a lake cause the ground cant hold any more water...so its just kinda got standing water on top

[Savage_Messiah]

damn, looks liek I'll have to go put those drain plugs back in at some point so the ground water doesn't flood up into it, now how bout THAT irony :lol:

[chevyt454]

No joke - I just went out and there are honda civics and acura integras scattered all over the highway stranded. Where they were trying to go in these low riders during a flood I don't know but not too bright.

[JL8Jeff]

I just ran up to the river to pull the dock in some. The Delaware is up about 4-5 feet so far and will come up another 5-10 feet at least. Glad I decided to take the boat out of the water yesterday!:shock:

[bobb1589]

yeah speaking of boating.. this spring has been horrible for boating... my dad and i havent even been able to get out... this weather will make the delaware impossible to boat in for 2 weeks or so just cuz all the debris

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Eh...no major flooding here....water covered the docks a little....nothing in the street....we are good so far :)

well, thats one less mustang in the world :lol:

[bubba428]

well theres real deep puddles here...and FROGS EVERY WERE!!!!!!

[Savage_Messiah]

that mustang had altezzas. A worthy sacrifice to calm mother nature's PMSing.

[Rich189]

flooding everywhere around here... the 15 minute ride to work took almost an hour because they had to detour the detour if that makes sense to anyone else (rt 130 flooded and then the detour they had flooded so they detoured that) and its probably just gonna keep getting worse glad my truck sits up decently high+-

that was right by menlo mall in edison..about 2 mins from my house. :w00t:

[MapleRed]

Its pretty bad around here. Some parking lots are completely under water. It would be nice to get a day off from work because of the weather. :lol:

[qwikz28]

theres a car that flew off the road and into a little lake on Route 18. its just sitting there bobbing around. every damn road on the way home was closed, i gave up and started driving around the barriers. and to think, a club i'm in at school held a banquet today and i was part of the setup committee so i spent most of my day carrying boxes in and out of the building to and from peoples cars. i think i have ammonia.

eff this i'm going to Noah's house for safety :lol:

[maroman88]

im home on a 3 hour break from the FD, gotta be back at 6am. we were out for 12 hours straight, my town, along with most of bergen county is destroyed. my town is split in half by the hackensack river and its not supposed to be lol. my basement has about 6inches of water and the power just came back on.

in the fire service there is a saying "the **** hit the fan" well today in my town, the **** hit the biggest fan ive ever seen realllly fast. most of the houses i was in the toilets were exploding with sewer mains full and backed up...watta mess

[BonzoHansen]

Hay Al, still want to know where the storm is? :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

Ugh, apapreantly after my first post in this thread the window / weatherstripping never fully sealed. Went otu to plug the drain holes and put some towels down at about 12:30... made sure to dry off the door. Well I go otu to give my mom a ride to work, dont feel like switching the cars around so take the camaro, and the door is soaked all over again.

manual locks / windows FTMFW


EDIT: Hey Mike did you hear about anything major in tenafly last night? mybe by/around the high school? at one point every cop in town plus a fire truck or two came down my street. Also, going to work i go thru bergenfield/ new milford to boulevard, to new bridge, the make the left by the sunoco and take river rd. thru teaneck and bogota, then cross one of the bridges into hackensack... anything super-crazy there I should know about?

"light water damage"

[slugger27nj]

In the words of Bart Simpson, "I thought it was theoretically impossible for something to both suck and blow at the same time." Well, this storm throws that theory right out the window.

[Savage_Messiah]

:funny:

[qwikz28]

rutgers is closed!

[BonzoHansen]

rutgers is closed!

So are Hamilton schools. So I am working from home with both buys here with me.

It was snowing earlier.

[JL8Jeff]

It was snowing and sleeting pretty hard as I drove into work. I also ended up going through a mudslide on my road. I couldn't tell what was in the road until I got to it. Somebody's driveway washed out and all the dirt/rocks ran across the road. The SS is like a 4x4, I've been going through everything the last 2 days! :mrgreen:

[Savage_Messiah]

Going to get new tires on the beater now :lol: slacking off FTL

[Tru2Chevy]

Tossed the Jeep in 4wd on my way to work this morning. Most roads on my side of Ewing were covered in about 1/2" of sleet, and my tires blow.

Fortunately Kare's office was closed, otherwise I was gonna give her the Jeep and take her Mustang to work. That would have been a fun ride.

[ar0ck]

Every things flooded! Even my shop is under water, maybe it will sink back to the depths of hell where it belongs.

[5.7TA]

Its so windy here right now. Yesterday 73 was so flooded I had to wait until around midnight just to go back home.

[Savage_Messiah]

why why why does fedex never close

[BigAls87Z28]

Yep...still looking for that storm.
Hung out with the gf all day yesterday. After the intial post, I went to her house in prep for going into the city, but that didnt happen. Woke up at like 2, made some breakfast, watched some movies, made dinner, watched TV, went to bed, woke up for work...here at work.
Yeah, its wet. Yeah, there were big puddles. Is it that bad? Apparently outside of my area, it is. My brother had to go to NB store today for a 930 meeting. Left at 730, which would put him at the store at no later then 815....he got there at 11. Apparently 18 is closed after Rt1, and parts of Rt 1 is closed as well. He got to the meeting, and was told to go home cause he was late. He said he almost took the guys head off with a golf club....
Anyway, at work and its ******** dead. And I have to close.

[lastcall190]

The Formula braved the weather and made it down to school... in only FOUR short hours HAHAHA... There are so many damn roads closed on the way down here it's not even funny.

-J

[Savage_Messiah]

No slackers like me coming in saying "umm... now that its raining i need those new tires?"

[BonzoHansen]

I saw lots of closed roads around me, the fire department is pumping water out of basements all over town, and I saw a sunk box truck, water up to the doors. And the creek behind the strip mall by me is way overflowing and water is up to the back of Risoldis Grocery store..

And it is very windy.

But I managed to make it to Meyers Speed Shop, McDonalds (gotta feed the kids), Ace Hardware (who ran out of sump pumps - I heard 3 people ask in 10 minutes) and Advance Auto (who strangly had the spark plug heat sleeves on the shelf that Meyers did not). Olds Power!

[BonzoHansen]

These are pics of Easton Ave on Monday. Taken by someone I work with. Still trying to find the storm Al? :)

[BigAls87Z28]

Yep, guess I scared the **** out of it, cause it never showed up here. Sunny and about high 40's out right now. Little cold, but liveable.

[ryanfx]

this thread title kinda bit us in the ass huh...

[BigAls87Z28]

just you

[someGTOguy]

two nights ago i ran 35 fire calls between 4pm and midnight... every single one was basement flooding. most had less than 6 inches of water. the worst: 6 feet, just below the ceiling downstairs.

[maroman88]

between sunday afternoon and tuesday morning i did 225+ fire calls. my dept went to lyndhurst, hackensack, new milford, river edge and hilsdale with our dive team. we were on ch11 and ch2 news lol

the other calls were all for utility shut downs when the basements flooded, some pump outs, smells of gas and smells of smoke
