So the major rain and wind storm that rocked the northeast is now over. The sun is out and its a beautiful day. But, This storm isn’t done with us yet. Today the Rivers in Northern New Jersey hit some of their highest levels in years and the Passaic swelled to 13 Feet. I witnessed the power that this storm created at Paterson falls in Paterson, NJ. On my way to and from the falls I witness the streets covered in water up to the houses. The scenes I witnessed today were very similar to what I had scene on tv with Katrina. Obviously nowhere near as bad but still dramatic for our area. Here is a video of the Paterson Falls that I had shot about a year ago so you can get an Idea of what the falls are like on a normal day.
