saavedra77I just had the disconcerting experience of learning that a "state of emergency" had been declared in the county where I grew up in NJ: there'd been heavy rainfall overnight, dams had apparently "ruptured," there were neighborhoods under multiple feet of water, evacuations--pretty alarming stuff, in short.
Fortunately, a few quick phone calls seem to indicate that my family are all OK--everyone I know seems to live on relatively high ground, & no one has had to evacuate. Still, it was weird seeing the words "state of emergency" alongside "Burlington County" ... I mean, nothing ever happens there!
