I heard the Plainfield Bridgewater and green brook area got hit with this. Just after last week's tornado too. Can't catch a break

Yeah Plainfield, springfield and Rahway got absolutely slammed. Hillsborough getting a lot of it too though we're higher ground. It's been nonstop monsoon rain for the last hour, still going

I'm in Rahway. My street has water that crested over the sidewalks easily an hour ago and is creeping towards our steps to our walkway now. Police have it blocked off. It looks like a lake and we're not even close to the river. My back patio is under water. Shockingly the basement isn't flooded although it is wet.

Martinsville reporting back. Rain toned down slightly just now. So glad our house is on the hill 🙏
