No Flooding (for a Change!)

Woodbridge got whacked with a huge thunderstorm this morning. Did you get caught in this morning's downpour?


A torrential downpour hit Woodbridge early this morning, but for a change, there seems to have been little flooding in all the usual spots.

NJ101.5 was broadcasting that Route 9 near was experiencing a huge water surge. Thankfully, less than an hour after the storm, there was little sign that the storm had caused any lasting flooding.

"It was bad there for awhile," said Hal Johnson, who said he drove on Route 9 during the worst of the rainstorm. He was surprised that the water went down so quickly.
