| episode_narrative | Rain overspread New Jersey during the late morning and early afternoon on the 8th preceding a low pressure system's warm front. The heaviest rain fell during two periods. One burst of heavy rain fell during the late afternoon and evening of the 8th. The second burst occurred during the morning of the 9th as a line of showers and thunderstorms moved through the region. Scattered pockets of heavier rain also affected the northwest part of the state during the afternoon and evening of the 9th. Storm totals averaged between 1.5 and 3.0 inches with the highest amounts falling along the coast and Sussex County. This caused some urban and poor drainage flooding, but was not heavy enough to push most of the major streams or rivers above bankfull. The one exception was the Rancocas Creek in Burlington County. Low lying areas along the creek started experiencing flooding during the mid day hours on the 9th as the runoff from the heavy rain was slowed by the incoming high tide in the lower part of the creek. Damage occurred to bulkheads and basements from Mount Holly to Southampton and also in Brown Mills along the north branch of the creek. Flood waters also crept into the backyards of homes in Lumberton near Burlington County Road 541. The North Branch of the Rancocas Creek at Pemberton did reach its flood stage of 2.7 feet the next day (the 10th) at 3 p.m. EST and remained above flood stage until 1 a.m. EST on the 11th. It crested at 2.71 feet at 7 p.m. EST on the 10th. Elsewhere, the unusually wet winter raised the water table above normal. This led to a rash of basement flooding reports, especially in Atlantic County. Storm precipitation totals included 3.13 inches in Freehold (Monmouth County), 3.11 inches in Red Bank (Monmouth County), 3.09 inches in Brick Township (Ocean County), 2.95 inches at the Marina in Atlantic City, 2.44 inches in Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), 2.34 inches in New Lisbon (Burlington County), 2.31 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 2.30 inches in Montague (Sussex County), 2.25 inches in Absecon (Atlantic County), 2.14 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport, 2.12 inches in Stewartsville (Warren County), 2.10 inches in Atsion (Burlington County), 1.87 inches in Millville (Cumberland County), 1.86 inches at the McGuire AFB, 1.83 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County), 1.75 inches in Cape May Courthouse, 1.74 inches in Somerdale (Camden County) and Pottersville (Somerset County), 1.72 inches in Seabrook (Cumberland County), 1.64 inches in Cherry Hill (Camden County), 1.62 inches in Sparta (Sussex County), 1.52 inches in Lambertville (Hunterdon County), 1.50 inches in New Brunswick (Middlesex County), 1.47 inches in Wertsville (Hunterdon County), 1.43 inches in South Harrison (Gloucester County), 1.41 inches in Chatham (Morris County), 1.28 inches in Princeton (Mercer County), 1.21 inches in Trenton (Mercer County) and 1.08 inches in Verga (Gloucester County). |
