It took me 2 & 1/2 hours to get home from work last night - normally, my commute is 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. 5.6 inches recorded at my house, other parts of town got over 7 inches - all in about 2-3 hours. At times, my weather station was indicating that rain was falling at a rate well above 3 inches an hour. While sitting still in traffic, I was paying attention to the weather radar on my phone. The storm cell with the most energy just did not want to move from South Plainfield - it was like it was stuck!
Multiple roads were flooded and impassable, but of course that didn't stop people from trying, anyway. The result was abandoned cars added to the mix. And more than just a few idiots driving around in the POURING rain with almost zero visibility WITHOUT THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON! How stupid can you be?!?
I was the last one to make it home, but we all got home, safe and sound. Thank you, Lord!
