This one crossed over from New Jersey into Pennsylvania right at the Burlington Bristol Bridge.[MEDIA=youtube]pgbeSu6MTs0[/MEDIA]The storm left many roads impassable due to flooding from Philadelphia up into New Jersey. By the time I headed out today, either those roads were closed so no way to take any photos, or the water had already receded. There is a levee in Morrisville - its retaining wall must be 25 - 30 feet high. The people sitting on the bench are on top of the levee. Although the water looks to be immensely high, it must must have been at least 10 feet below the top. BUT high tide wasn't due in until later after I took photos today. And in case you are wondering, yes there is a path that runs along the top of the levee between the Calhoun Street Bridge and the Trenton Makes Bridge.[ATTACH=full]363007[/ATTACH]Below is the Trenton Makes Bridge. The water on my side of the bridge was flowing quickly but smoothly yet when it got to the opposite side of the bridge, the water suddenly resembled rapids.

The levee is only located in a certain area so anything south of there is at risk for flooding. I don't ever recall seeing the water level this high. Usually these trees are on dry soil.[ATTACH=full]363010[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
