Hurricane Irene flooding Nutley NJ Part 1

This is the morning after Hurricane Irene passed along New Jersey. There wasn't much wind damage at all, but the flooding was historic. It was a good day for walking around!

It's not the worst of the hurricane, for sure, but it's the worst flooding we've had around here for a long time.

My brother is the one filming. I'm in the picture every now and then.

I saw a few people going down the overflowed streets in kayaks.

in a few areas where its really flooded. Was Irene as bad as you expect it to be? Just wondering.

@iNomNomRice We didn't really get as much damage as I thought there was going to be. Not much wind, but tons and tons of rain. The ground was already saturated, so trees came down as well.

Overall, I'd say it was fairly tame aside from the flooding. I wish I had a boat, because I'd be rowing down Franklin Ave.

@iNomNomRice when irene passed on puerto rico the people were skiing on the flooded streets and run jet skis

@amyydooley I haven't actually been out today to have a look. But I could go on a scouting mission. I'm guessing they have a good bit of it cleaned up.
