At a little over 5PM today, the rain started pouring as I was driving West of Sip Avenue for gas refueling. 10-15 minutes later on the way back, this was the scene at the intersection of West Side Avenue and Sip Avenue, right by Rite Aid Pharmacy in Marion Neighborhood.
Sewage system couldn’t handle the strong rain, and manholes were overflowing. I have to take other route to avoid this depressed area of Sip and West Side Avenue.
I wonder which other areas of Jersey City got flooded this afternoon.

OMG! that’s crazy, too much rain in a short time, will definately flood the streets
Yup, the sky was angry for 30 minutes
Several people were outside Rite-Aid watching the cars trying to get past that flood. My car is old, and with this economy, I didn’t want to take the risk. :P
