My stepfather lives in Cranford, NJ but he is one of the few not in the flood zone.  He told me 90% of the town is in a flood zone.  He was trying to explain to me how he made it to work the morning after the hurricane, but until I saw the pictures I didn’t quite understand the magnitude of the flooding.  So very sad.

It stinks anywhere but this really stinks because Cranford is a nice town.  My former, massively talented H.S. choirmaster was from there.
