that's a lie. We had partial three phase to the building which was about
as
useful as no power.

I thought you were in Millington. that's a long way from the Passaic
river. The Passaic river always floods in Wayne west of 23. I think all
the houses along the river there have davits above the garage. : )

John,

You'd be amazed at where the Passaic goes...

Check out this Mapquest map: http://mapq.st/pVsAFG

The Passaic starts just a few miles from here in the Morristown area and
snakes its way out past Wayne and Little Falls (I lived in that area until
about 2 years ago)...

One of my life goals is to canoe the length of the Passaic from start to
end... With a few hop-offs for stuff like the Patterson falls.

By the way, the Patterson Falls (Great Falls?) are essentially gone right
now. The water level made the falls essentially go under water from what
I'm hearing. That's the extent of the flooding in that town...


I always thought that the Passaic river started somewhere west of Wayne
in the low swampy areas there. I never realized that it continued and
ran all over the place.

I almost bought a house in Little Falls way back when. The house was on
top of the greatnotch ridge and had a commanding view of NYC and east.
I bought an airplane in stead.

The Passaic river drains a lot of territory and it floods with any
signifiant amount of rainfall. It must be a real mess with all the
rain from the tropical storm.
