Looking back on this afternoon's event I can not help, but remember how we had to fight the developer who wanted to build the duplexes at Normandy Park. The Park had a small river running through it today, just as we had claimed happens. Inlets designed to take water from the Street were pouring water out into the street. Cars were floating, and a few sinking. Basements were flooded, but fortunately to my knowledge sewage did not seem to back-up. Need to keep watching this, however as people with improperly connected sump pumps start filling up the the sewer lines as they pump out their basements.

People were out and about wondering where the Township was, not a police car, township vehicle, or even fire truck (Except one from Ardmore on Ardmore Ave.)had reached our neighborhood.
