Hurricane Irene brings record flooding to Denville

Hurricane Irene tore through Denville early this morning, bringing with it strong winds and torrential rain. Several trees in our neighborhood were uprooted or had large sections ripped off. The Rockaway River has been rising steadily all day and as I write this, the USGS gauge above the Boonton Reservoir is measuring 9.06′, much higher than the previous record of 7.23′ set on April 5, 1984. Here are some pictures that we took of the damage today.
