Trees Down, Cars Driving into Floods

We're not done with Hurricane Irene, and it's already caused serious damage in Morris Township and Morris Plains.

Morris Township Administrator Timothy Quinn is urging resident to stay home.

"We have had to rescue people from vehicles that drove into flooded roadways and became disabled," he said. "We have numerous trees down, wires down and roads closed do to flooding. It is not safe to venture out unless it is an emergency."

Flooding was most most severe Sunday morning in the Lake Valley Road  and Lake Road area, along the Whippany River. The township has evacuated several residents whose properties border the river, Quinn said.
