Over the weekend, heavy rainfall across New Jersey led to widespread flooding concerns, affecting various communities and causing disruptions on Saturday. In South Jersey, conditions in Burlington County were closely monitored. The community was on edge due to the heavy rainfall, with flooding forcing drivers to make detours near Red Bull Arena in Harrison on Saturday night. Residents across the state expressed concerns about the flooding after the heavy rainfall. The situation was exacerbated by higher than normal tides on Saturday, leading to significant flooding in areas like the Brooklawn Circle, with the west circle under water and advancing towards the east. Delsea Drive was recommended as the best alternate route. The Passaic River is expected to crest, further heightening flooding concerns. Local reporters from different news outlets provided updates from various locations, including Essex County, indicating the widespread impact of the weather event.
