Flood in Rahway
Irving Street yesterday in front of my former residence in Rahway NJ. My building is on the right, surrounded by water, the branch of Rahway River swiftly flowing right to left between the buildings on the left & down to rejoin the river. Once the river comes over the bank on a street behind my old apt building & flows through St. Mark's RC Church parking lot, what you see here occurs in under five minutes.

River flooded twice during the ten years I resided there. This photo doesn't quite capture it.
