Flood Warning In Brick As 2nd Storm Moves In

BRICK, NJ — Roads are flooded again in several areas on Friday and Brick Township police are urging people to be cautious as water levels are expected to continue to rise for the next few hours.

"There have been many reports of flooding in the area," Brick Township police said in a post on Facebook. A photo of one of the department's high-water vehicles showed it riding through several inches of water in midafternoon.

On Thursday evening, Route 35 north and south was flooded on the barrier island, and flooding was happening again on Friday, as the area marks the ninth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, which inundated the barrier island and backbay areas.

Tides are expected to rise 1-2 feet above ground level in low-lying areas; high tide is expected at 7:08 p.m., Brick police said.

Residents living in areas prone to flooding are encouraged to move their vehicles to higher ground; police said vehicles can be parked at the township's parks.

"Use extreme caution when you see flood warning signs or cones blocking off roadways," police said.
