Passaic River one year after Irene...

[buzzbaiter]

Right about this time last year we were getting about 6-8" of rain swelling the Passaic to record levels. It crested @ 24.1' on 8/30-9/1 or one foot higher than the previous record. Right now its ~11'. Its almost hard to believe where I was standing on the banks of the river just last Saturday was under 13' of water a year ago.
