Flood Waters Receding, But N.J. Residents Still Furious

New Jersey Flooding (credit: CBS 2)
WAYNE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — As flood-prone areas of New Jersey began drying
out Tuesday, angry residents of flooded areas called again on New Jersey’s
leaders to do more to keep their roads and homes dry.
Flood-weary folks in Wayne are used to keeping a close eye on the now-
receding Passaic River, but once again flood waters have made their lives
miserable.
One man in Little Falls had to wade down his street to rescue his mother.
Marta Rojas just replaced her basement appliances after last month’s
flooding waters. Now they’re soaked again.
“The pilot light in my furnace went off already and the hot water heater. I
just got them three weeks ago,” she said.
The state has already said it’s about to spend more than a million dollars
dredging the communities around the Passaic River basin. Residents said it’
s about time.
“There’s nothing we can do unless we move,” said Arlind Ibrhaimi.

One word can solve your flood problems- MOVE.
NJ where you are is a low lying area and as such will collect any all runoff
from the surrounding higher elevation areas either from heavy rains or
melting snows.
I’m sure that the native North American Indians were smart enough NOT to
live in those areas.

the only reason you were able to buy your home was becuase no one else
wanted to live in a flood zone..don’t complain and beg for taxpayer money
whenever it rains..move and take your loss

I live in a flood zone and I get excited(happy) every time there is a flood.
There is a dreary feeling that comes over the neighborhood and all of my
neighbors walk around the neighborhood like zombies watching the water rise.
Call me twisted if you want, but I get a kick out of it.

These areas have flooded since my father was a kid he is now 84 years old.
The problem is that there is no water shed in this part of the state. Simply
put there is as much or more pavement and roof area as there is open ground
. All of that water drains into the river and is not adsorbed in the ground.
This was poor planning years ago by local governments choosing to increase
property tax revenue over sensible expansion. No we will have to pay for
there mistakes either by trying to manage nature or pay to relocate those in
the worst flooding areas.

Once again people having no clue what they are talking about. I live in
Wayne in the flood zone, and it never used to flood this bad. There is a
flood buyout program, however there is only so much money to buy so many
houses, and there are thousands of people effected in the area and
surrounding towns. There simply isn’t enough money, you can’t sell because
of the bad flooding history since 2007, before then you could sell no
problem, no one will buy now with what happened in the last 4 years. I asked
Fema last year to buy me out instead of playing for repairs as I had 18″
of water in my living room, they said NO!!! So have some sense, some people
are just stuck with no way out right now. When you ask why it floods so bad?
