In Point Pleasant Beach, a 30-minute downpour was all it took to flood some side streets and parts of Route 35. Although roads were not impassable, with the soil and ground hardened from the recent weeks of heat and very little rainfall, the water just ran off and into the street.
There was even more rain in areas of Atlantic and Cape May counties.
Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardi told News 12 there was no significant flooding from what came through Friday morning, despite a flood warning that expired for the area just after 6 p.m.
