Heavy rain led to
flooding Monday in various
parts of New Jersey, including Middlesex County, where flooding consumed a
pickup truck in Woodbridge.
Flooding happened on
Leesville Avenue just off Rodgers Street under the train overpass known for its
flooding.
It comes as the Garden State deals with the effects of a drought warning.
Weather
experts say the rain is needed, but this much rain in this short period of time
does not help. They say the ground is not able to absorb the water as quickly
because it is so dry, leading to flooding.
Several
severe thunderstorm warnings were put into effect earlier in the day, along
with some flash flood warnings.
Some
more rain is expected today, but forecasters say it’s not expected to be as
severe.
