Got a call from MPD - Downtown Millburn is now completely flooded. Many businesses are extremely damaged.

Millburn police saying flooding not down by the wells fargo/red cross/Gotham end of town...yet.

How bad is it at Main Street & Church? I have a ground floor apartment but left yesterday afternoon.

How bad is it at Main Street & Church? I have a ground floor apartment but left yesterday afternoon. My friend has a garage on Main (behind Tru Fit) and he told me around 1 AM that it was flooded.

Main Street under water at 195 Main Street . Wont be long before its in the building. Water alll around Shop Rite.

The exact words of the police officer who phoned me at my home were "It's a disaster. Don't even try getting here". A member of my staff who lives on Millburn Ave has phoned me with updates and stated, as recently as 20 minutes ago, that the waters continue to rise. I think it's safe to say that Downtown Millburn is significantly more affected by this storm that it was even for Floyd back in 1999.

I am out of town, does anybody have any updates on the Western & Highland area?

I just got a call from town emergency. They asked to boil water, that is, tap water is contaminated. Can I use that water to wash?

Can someone give an update about how it is on East Willow St??

Main Street looks like a raging at Church / Spring streets.

Thanks Andrew for the additional info on downtown. And thanks, dc, for the photo. Wow.

Is Essex St flooded? How are the businesses there? Are they okay? Please update me.

How is glenwood drive off millburn ave by the brook where the old kings was and meadowbrook. Is there power?thanks for any updates

From Gilbert place, just to keep all up to date, the flood wall has been overtaken by the flood waters and there currently is a massive pool of encroaching our home from the backyard, while Ridgewood Road also looks impassible. Best of luck to all.

Essex Street is closed due to flooding...Don't know how bad the street is there yet...As soon as we get any updates or words on any other streets, I'll post. I promise. I know everyone is really worried and with good reason! Meanwhile, if your street is flooded or trees are down in your neighborhood, let us know!

Very large tree down on park road blocking access for all residents on park circle as well as 80% of residents on park road.

Lt. Peter Eakley with the PD and OEM just released the following information, which I will incorporate into the story but wanted to get it out here fast first:

"At this juncture water is flowing over the top of the retaining wall in the South Mountain area of Millburn Township. Although water is flowing over the top of the wall, as per our municipal Engineering Department the wall is in no danger of being breached.
We are not recommending that anyone evacuate your home at this juncture. Please move to your 1st floor and stay out of your basements.

If you have a life hazard emergency, we will conduct a rescue operation. At this time, we have requested National Guard assets (sic), if a full scale evacuation is required. Please stay tight, stay in your homes, and stay tune for the most current information.
All persons are reminded to not go out on to the streets or drive vehicles through standing water."

What's the electricity system like? Is everyone in an outage? The jcpl utility power outage map is not updating. Is there any other site where I can find this info?

Thank you readers! Keep uploading these pictures and videos. Amazing stuff.

Huge tree down on Brookside Dr by the Paper Mill.

While walking the dog, passing motorist told me tree down on South Terrace between Morris Ave and Hobart Ave but there is an "opening about one car width" so he was able to just get through. Have not personally seem it. Take care all.

There are numerous homes in South Mountain that are surrounded by a few feet of water. No exaggeration. Laura, do you know what is being done to assist those people? They are also without power, of course.

Can anyone give me any info about Myrtle Ave? We have family owning there and they are out of town. Many many thanks, hang in there people.

Live wires on Chatham Rd.... Sparked small fire but crews are there.

No power in Wyoming. Several trees down, power lines down. Wyoming Ave blocked my downed tree and power lines.

Does anyone know about Hartshorn Dr. and that area? I have a home there any I am currently in California and I can't get ahold of anyone.

Five guys burgers and fries at Millburn Mall is opening at 5:00pm tonight. They have electricity and no water alert.

Anyone with information about Oakview Terrace in Short Hills? I am out of town and would appreciate any info you have. Thanks!

Patch did good today.

Any info on Lakeside Village by the ShopRite? My girlfriends mom lives there on the 1st floor.

Great work today Laura and the entire Patch team - up and at it since 3am!

Park road / circle is now clear thanks to local home owner! The power of community!!!

anyone know when power's gonna be back

Trent - I just got back from Lakeview (I live there too) - lots of mud in the driveway but the units look like they faired fine. I probably lost a good amount of stuff in the basement storage room (couldn't get in due to a clogged drain and about a foot of standing water.

live in neighboring town but work on East Willow Street right across from SR and the car wash - water still there? power?

We live in on Greenwood in South Mountain and every house on the south side of Greenwood is flooded - backyard water as high as the top of a basketball hoop - you woudl need a boat to get through. Basement water half way up the steps. We are a mess here - I hope they are planning on doing something to help us. I thought they fixed this problem after Flyod....

Laura, please contact me for more details on the flooding in South Mountain.... things are horrific over on this side of town....thanks.

Any word on Main Street near St. Stephens? I moved my son in yesterday, but he came home with us to wait and see what happened with the storm. Any chance he can go back to his apt. on Monday evening? He has to start his job in NYC tomorrow?

How bad is the flooding in south mountain? Did it reach southern slope drive? What about between mountainview and wyoming? am currently out of town as well, and I can't locate anyone either.

Any word on Ocean Street? Moving there from Australia in two weeks time (after losing everything here in floods in January!). Hope everyone is safe.

Does anyone know how Short Hills Avenue is doing? I am out of town. My house is by the 2nd smaller parking lot at the train station.

Thanks for helping each other with information here. We have set up a story Neighbors Helping Neighbors where people who need help can connect with people who want to help. Have a high school group wanting to help drag furniture to the curb? Post it. Need help cleaning up? Or someone to check on your home? Post it there. This is something Millburn and Short Hills is going to deal with for a long time.

I use to live in SH back in the 1990s and it looks like things haven't changed with the utility company. We use to get lots of black outs. One time I decided to investigate and drove to the pole where the problem was. I sat and watched the man in the truck sit inside for hours. Then he finally went up to the box and flipped a switch and came down and drove away. I think there is some discrimination going on in the SH/Milburn area.
