| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Four days of rain, heaviest on the 13th, culminated in major flooding in the Passaic and Raritan Basins and flooding throughout New Jersey. Four day storm totals averaged around 2.5 to 6 inches with the highest amounts in the Raritan and Passaic Basins. It was the worst flooding in the Raritan Basin since April of 2007 and the worst flooding in the Passaic Basin since April of 1984. Over 1000 people were evacuated in Morris and Somerset Counties. Damage was estimated at 30 million dollars as thousands of homes and businesses were damaged. In Morris County alone, about 1,300 homes and businesses were damaged. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency on March 14th. Periods of rain started during the morning of the 12th and fell at its heaviest on the 13th. The heaviest rain fell during the morning in the southern third of the state, afternoon in the central part of the state and in the afternoon into the evening in the northern third of the state. Periods of lighter rain persisted into the 14th and 15th which slowed the recession of streams and rivers in the area..||The heavy rain was caused by a slow moving low pressure system that had a tremendous fetch of moist air from the Atlantic Ocean. The low pressure system moved from the South Carolina coast on the morning of the 12th, into Virginia on the morning of the 13th, to Delaware on the morning of the 14th and then drifted slowly east over the next two days as it was captured by an upper level system. ||The flooding occurred on the weekend when eastern daylight time began. Some of the river flooding started on Eastern Standard Time and ended on Eastern Daylight Time, we apologize for any confusion this causes. |
