Point Pleasant, Brick Got More Rain Than Anybody In NJ This Week

New Jersey got a ton of rain that flooded roads, downed wires and caused a host of problems on Tuesday. So it should be no surprise that the most rain fell in the areas that flooded – and they're all at the Jersey Shore.

Data from Rutgers University, nj.com and the National Weather Service shows that seven of the eight towns that got the most rain in New Jersey on Tuesday are located in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Here is the list:

1. Brick: 4.55 inches
2. Point Pleasant: 3.56 inches
3. Seaside Heights: 3.19 inches
4. Manasquan: 3.06 inches
5. Franklin, Gloucester County: 2.43 inches
6. Berkeley: 2.26
7. Wall. 2.18
8. Barnegat: 1.93 inches

Police had to tell Point Pleasant Boro and Point Pleasant Beach residents on Tuesday to take necessary precautions since local roads flooded following the storm.

Residents were told to avoid all unnecessary travel as roads throughout Point Pleasant Boro and Beach flooded. Live videos showed Dorsett Dock Road, Bridge Avenue, Route 35 and other roads completely underwater.

Deanna Jividen of Point Pleasant Boro took a live video that showed flooding in front of Gerards Wine and Spirits on Bridge Avenue (see picture).
