Monday’s downpour was quite a flash flooder. You’ll see some photos within this issue of The SandPaper.

The stormage was mainly a mid-Island rain event, resulting in motorist aggravation of the highest order. The rapid-fire rain dropped up to 5 inches in a flash, thusly flash flooding. Ship Bottom and Surf City took the brunt of the protracted cloudburst – though a real-time cloudburst is technically rainfall at a rate of about 4 inches an hour.
