Back here at home, flooding impacting people in Middlesex County news. 12 New Jersey's Lauren de joins us from Woodbridge. Now, live with more this afternoon, Lauren. Yeah. You know, Nick. So we're at Parker Press Park. This is in Woodridge right across from the train station and also the Medora apartments and we're joined by HD. Now you actually work really close. You just uh took a lunch break to come out to talk to us about this. And you're saying they just uh renovated this park here because the apartment weeks ago and it's a really nice park like in summer. We used to enjoy uh walking here summer break. Um And they used to have like a concert. We keep our door open to have a live music. But yeah, I mean, with the rain it's flooded so definitely cannot do much. No, no. And they have the festival coming up on Sunday and he said sometimes they pump it out if they can but they make it happen, but I don't know what they're gonna do for tomorrow. Yeah, it looks like they actually moved that jazz festival. I checked their website organizers moved it actually to Woodbridge High School, to the fields over there. So they're gonna, I guess, let this drain and just let it go. And I think that's what a lot of homeowners are faced too. With a lot of puddling. I see. Yeah. And with the rain, like, sometime when you're driving and you have a puddle and I don't know, just to make sure your drive, car drive is ok. Your heart is ok. Exactly. Ok. So we'll, we'll let you go back to work because we're gonna, you don't have boots on. I have boots on. I just want to show everyone. Thank you so much for your time. HD. Stay dry. And I just wanna show you, obviously, I'm not gonna go where, where the cones are because they put those up here. You could just see how mushy it is here and it probably goes up to my ankles where the cones are not set up. So, um, I would say the flood water probably goes up to my cave. So it's a good five inches or so. And just to give you an idea of how much rain came down here in Woodbridge, it looks like it was about 2.5 inches that came down really quick. So this park is a probably a good indication what some of your lawns look like. So what you got to do is just wait for the ground to see this in. We are in Woodridge waiting to dry out over here. Lauren de 12 New Jersey. Yeah, news is flooding for some dangerous for others. Lauren, thank you.

We have more flood video to show you this in Jersey City. You can see the flood waters rising almost above the tires of these cars right here. A nearby motorcycle almost completely underwater. Those heavy rains on top of a water main break there. Let's now go to Chris Keating. He's in Jersey City with the very latest parts of Hudson County. Today could see between three and six inches of rain on our way northbound along the turnpike here to Jersey City. It was raining nonstop. We made it as far as Pacific Avenue and found this, this entire intersection was closed down because it was all flooded with probably about a foot worth of rain water. And now this time it has just cleared up and again, we're seeing cars going in both directions, but there was yellow tape across this intersection saying no one could pass. There is another intersection in town right by City Hall which was also shut down. Not only did they have flooding due to the heavy rains, but also because of a water main break for a time, their City Hall was closed, but we hear that water service is being returned. And again, buildings are being reopened along with City Hall. But again, if you are out and about today, especially in Hudson County, be aware because the rain could get intense and we could see flash flooding throughout the day in Jersey City. I'm Chris Keating news, New Jersey.
