PHOTOS: Flash Flooding in Central NJ Over Weekend
South Brunswick, Princeton and Plainsboro were all hard hit.
This past weekend, police and OEM officials warned flash flooding was a strong possibility. And in many parts of Central New Jersey, those predictions — unfortunately — came true.
Police in South Brunswick posted these pictures of flash flooding in the township on Saturday. Major artery Rt. 1 southbound was closed Saturday in South Brunswick due to heavy flooding. Water was reportedly waist-deep in Princeton and Plainsboro. West Windsor declared a state of emergency Saturday and ordered people to stay off the roads.
