were all impassible last night. Luckily our house was OK, but others in my town needed to spend the night in our Community Center that was converted into a shelter. I also have a property in New Brunswick that got water in the basement. The Raritan River covered parts of Routes 18. Between lane and road closings, it took me 2 1/2 hours to get there - the typical time is 50 minutes. Every way I turned, roads were closed because of wash-outs.
